This certificate program is an excellent enhancement to your personal and professional development related to making our university a welcoming and accessible place for everyone.
Inclusive Pedagogy Track Description
Registrants in the inclusive pedagogy track will engage with content focused on classroom-based ideas and strategies that make those spaces accessible to as many students as possible from the outset of instruction (e.g., tips related to Universal Design for Learning (UDL) in the classroom).
Inclusive Campus Track Description
Registrants in the Inclusive Practices Track will engage with content focused on all non-classroom-based ideas and strategies that make the rest of our campus accessible (e.g., tips related to Universal Design for Learning (UDL) department meetings, office spaces, designing flyers, making presentations, giving campus tours, etc).
