AT/UDL: A Model for Professional Learning

RSCH-21 Friday 3:00-5:00

Join us in learning about our experience and research with a grant-funded blended course model for ongoing K-12 teacher professional development entitled: Spreading the Word about AT and UDL: Tools and Strategies for ALL Students. This school-year course included: face-to-face and online learning activities, practical projects and application of skills, shared artifacts, and active use of social media. Course content and connected assignments focused on AT, UDL, AEM, AT Process; and hands-on explorations of a variety of educational technology tools. Inclusive instructional design and principles of UDL were embedded throughout all learning experiences. The growth in knowledge and confidence of all participants was remarkable as evidenced by pre- and post-tests, projects and participant video testimonials. The #ATUDL Twitter topic emerged as an outcome, connecting the professional community beyond the course as we continue to spread the word about AT and UDL
