creating ACCESS for ALL
Universal Design for Learning & Media Literacy
THURSDAY . NOVEMBER 6th . 4:30 - 6:30pm
URI's COUNCIL FOR EXCEPTIONAL CHILDREN
presents a free professional development workshop
for in-service and pre-service educators
How can we create and maintain successful education programs to include diverse media and students?
- Do you have challenges including students with a wide range of abilities and disabilities in your classes?
- Have you struggled with issues on how to integrate core curriculum, technology and media?
- Implementing Universal Design for Learning can help problem-solve and inform your teaching practice !
At this workshop we will be focusing on strategies to create a more inclusive classroom using UDL principles while incorporating basic digital technology to aid in accessibility.
We will also introduce participants to the Assistive Technology available at URI's Library for educators to use.
Learning is the dynamic interaction of individual with the environment. Universal Design for Learning is at that intersection addressing ALL learner needs.
