About the course
How do we effectively support students with the most significant needs while still challenging those who are ready to move ahead? This balancing act is one of the most complex aspects of teaching—and without a strategic approach, it can feel overwhelming. In this course, we’ll explore how Universal Design for Learning (UDL) helps us design flexible, responsive learning experiences that naturally support a broad range of learners before individual adaptations are needed. Instead of layering on endless differentiation and modifications, we’ll look at how small, intentional shifts in planning can make learning more accessible, engaging, and appropriately challenging for all students. We’ll focus on how to: 🧠 Adopt the mindset of a universal designer—expecting variability and designing for it from the start 🚧 Identify potential barriers in engagement, access, and expression that may prevent some students from thriving 🔍 Apply a protocol to analyze lessons and remove barriers before they create inequities 🤝 Work in interdisciplinary teams to examine instructional design from multiple perspectives 🎯 Make strategic decisions to meet the needs of a broad profile of neurodiversity
