This session is part of the Accessible Dartmouth Initiative.
The national organization CAST defines UDL as "an educational approach based on the learning sciences with three primary principles—multiple means of student engagement, multiple means of representation of information, and multiple means of student action and expression." The principles of UDL can help all educators–whether in the classroom or beyond–better meet the needs of all students, including neurodiverse students, first-generation college students, international students, English language learners, and students of other marginalized identities.
Events are free and open to the public unless otherwise noted.
