This workshop will provide you with practical strategies to create flexible learning environments that can accommodate the diverse needs of all students.

Participants will:
- Understand the principles and guidelines of Universal Design for Learning (UDL);
- Learn how to apply UDL principles to curriculum design and classroom practice;
- Develop strategies for creating inclusive learning environments;
- Collaborate with peers to share ideas and best practices.
