Abstract:
The Universal Design for Learning guidelines are a tried-and-true roadmap to an inclusive classroom. Inclusivity in the classroom is important for student learning from so many perspectives for ALL learners of ALL abilities. UDL not only helps to create equity and engagement in the classroom it’s also imperative for all students that you can find a way to create joy and a feeling of belonging in your classes to boost engagement and learner agency. And by providing learners with a sense of agency you will increase their learning potential. A great way to provide all these wonderful things is by referring to and following the edicts of the Universal Design for Learning framework in your lesson planning and class time. I will illustrate through my virtual poster many simple strategies that can be implemented tomorrow which will make an impact on helping instructors create classes that are more welcoming and inclusive for all. I will include a link to a Padlet where viewers can submit their own UDL tips culminating in a user-created digital whiteboard filled with useful ideas to implement the UDL guidelines that can continue to grow in perpetuity!
