Chemeketa's Universal Design for Learning Certificate is a workshop series designed around the UDL guidelines created by neuroscientists and educators at CAST, who's mission is to "bust the barriers to learning that millions of people experience every day." The UDL guidelines are an iterative framework to improve and optimize teaching and learning with the ultimate goal of developing learning agency that is "purposeful and reflective, resourceful and authentic, strategic and action-oriented." Our workshops will guide participant through understanding the UDL framework through implementation of UDL principles into their courses.
This site will serve as a companion to the UDL certificate by housing the resources participants will use during the UDL workshops.
