To address the remarkable variability among students in today’s diverse learning environments, educators are increasingly turning to Universal Design for Learning (UDL). UDL offers a framework for guiding the design of learning opportunities that are inclusive and challenging for all learners.
Universal Design for Learning: Explore helps participants deepen their understanding of UDL and its use as a development tool while learning how to design rich learning experiences that benefit all students in their classrooms.

All materials are provided at the start of the program and can be completed at times that best fit a participant’s schedule within the three-week program period. Participants should plan to devote an average of three to five hours per week to classwork.
Participants who complete all individual activities and contribute to group discussions prior to the end of the course period will receive a certificate indicating the completion of fifteen clock hours of instruction. Each week you will:
We welcome participants who have a basic understanding of UDL, are eager to deepen their UDL practice, and are motivated to develop into UDL leaders at their schools. Please note that a strong background in UDL is not required.

However, participants may space their participation across time as best fits their needs and availability.
