Universal Design for Learning (UDL) is a proactive educational framework designed to make learning accessible for all students, especially students with disabilities, by providing multiple ways for students to engage with course content, access information, and demonstrate what they have learned. In this workshop, we will explore the third principle of Universal Design for Learning: Action and Expression. Learners differ in the ways they navigate a learning environment, approach the learning process, and express what they know. Providing multiple means of action and expression is essential for learners to demonstrate their learning. These strategies are relevant across a wide range of TA roles. You do not need to be an independent instructor or have complete control over course design for UDL to make a meaningful difference. Even small choices in how you facilitate activities, communicate expectations and feedback, and present content can improve access for all students.
After this workshop participants will be able to:
- understand the third principle of the Universal Design for Learning framework: Action and Expression
- articulate best practices for assignment design and assessment
- identify techniques for encouraging self-regulated learning
