Universal Design for Learning: Creating Learning Environments that Challenge and Engage All Youth
In this recorded workshop, facilitated by Dee Spinkston, participants will develop an understanding how Universal Design Learning benefits all students and intentionally leads to creating equitable and inclusive learning environments and programs that are inclusive of all learners. Participants will learn how to create flexible learning paths and multiple means of student engagement, representation, action, and expression.
In this workshop we will explore varied UDL formats (visual, auditory, kinesthetic and others) for delivering content; individualizing engagement options; and choices of learning modalities through which our youth can demonstrate learning and skill building in a safe, respectful and supportive OST environment.
There are three UDL principles we will explore allowing us to develop universally-designed OST programs and activities:
