Universal Design For Learning Part 1: Engagement

Welcome to Universal Design For Learning Part 1: STUDENT ENGAGEMENT

PREREQUISITE COURSE REQUIRED: UNIVERSAL DESIGN FOR LEARNING OVERVIEW

IMPORTANT NOTE:  You may take any of the 3 Universal Design for Learning Courses in any order after you've completed the prerequisite course.  Because the course is now on-demand and ends 1/4/2022, I will turn in names to Esther for credit at the end of the course when it closes. 

Credit Hours: 2.0
Contact Hours: This is a 2.0 credit course, offered in Canvas. Since this is offered online at the participant’s own pace as opposed to an in-person 2.0 hour workshop, expect to spend at about 2.5 hours of time viewing videos, reading material, responding to open-ended questions and completing the course quiz.

COURSE DESCRIPTION:
This course explores the UDL Guideline 1: Providing Multiple Means of Engagement for student learning. It also links the UDL Guidelines to High Leverage Teaching Strategies to use right away in your classroom practice. This course is intended for all teachers, general education and special education, K-12. For more information on UDL Guidelines use this LINK.

COURSE INFO:  There are two assignments in this course. The Nearpod presentation has three parts, embedded questions and the course quiz. The directions for the discussion are also in the Nearpod presentation. The Universal Design for Learning courses, parts 1, 2, and 3, may be taken in any order. Please take time to visit "Pages" to access the Interactive UDL Guidelines Document, and view the CDE's expectations for UDL implementation in every classroom.
