Universal Design for Learning: Practical Solutions to Make Your Practice More Inclusive
"Our classrooms have become more diverse and complex in terms of both student culture and ability, but the question is, do students see themselves reflected in our practice?
This workshop provided participants with an introduction to UDL (Universal Design for Learning) as a model for Inclusive Practice that provides a framework to manage diversity to include all students. It explored the complexity that is implicit in the idea of inclusion especially when supporting students. Some practical tools and strategies were identified that benefit not only students with a disability, but all students in the long run.
The workshop was targeted at all CIT staff, and participants:
Gained an understanding of what is meant by inclusion and Universal Design for Learning
Engaged in practical activities where consideration is given to how designing a learning environment that is inclusive of a more diverse student population.
Used the UDL model to design an inclusive learning environment.

Gained an insight of the work of CIT's Disability Support Service and their work on the use of reasonable accommodations in a more strategic and inclusive manner."
