Learning Outcomes:

Participants will be able to explain the concepts and principles of Universal Design for Learning (UDL).
Participants will be able to analyze and evaluate curriculum and assessment documentation using this framework and provide constructive feedback to educators.

Big Ideas:

Because of the wide variability in how people learn, barriers to learning are often caused by inflexible curriculum and materials, rather than by a disability of a student.
As much as possible, curriculum should be designed up-front to provide multiple, flexible options for everyone- rather than retro-fitted in response to individual students.
UDL provides multiple, flexible options for the representation of content, engagement with content, and demonstration of skills, knowledge, and understanding.
The arts can provide rich, meaningful, and engaging teaching and learning options.

Description:
The Understanding by Design module provided a solid framework for designing quality curriculum that features relevant, worthwhile content and has alignment and coherence across the desired results, assessment evidence, and learning activities. This module of the course focuses on using the Universal Design for Learning framework to review and revise your curriculum to make it more accessible and inclusive. You will learn about the critical features and concepts of UDL in this module presentation and then you will apply this information to the evaluation and feedback of curriculum documentation. You will also be asked to consider how you would use the UDL framework in your own professional development.
