Join Nannette Fromm and Karla Bell for an interactive webinar exploring the Universal Design for Learning 3.0 Guideline, Sustaining Effort and Persistence (8). This session will introduce and allow participants to explore components of an Inclusive Teaching Strategies Self-Assessment and Reflection tool and companion resources developed by the presenters. These tools highlight the selection and design of learning materials, assessments, and teaching methods that reinforce enhancements to the UDL 3.0 Engagement Guideline 8. The self-assessment helps faculty reflect on individual course design and teaching practices with relationship to creating an inclusive and equitable learning environment, underscoring the foundation of key changes represented in UDL 3.0 Guidelines.
