From The Author
Narrative
Universal Design is a concept that is based on creating tools and teaching strategies that are mindful of students with specific challenges including students with disabilities, learning differences or other diverse issues. Typically once Universal Design elements are brought into a class, it benefits all students, not just students with specific needs. A syllabus is a great starting point for implementing universal design concepts in your classroom. By taking a few simple steps you can create a tool that will help prepare all students for success.
Steps To Implement
Steps to Implement
1) Use the checklist included in the toolkit materials to evaluate your current syllabus and look for places where you want to changes your syllabus to make it more useful, specific and accessible. 2) Look at the sample Syllabus posted under materials to get ideas for how to implement these new ideas. 3) Write a clear and welcoming Additional Needs Statement about accommodations. It is recommended you read this statement out loud in class so students feel safe requesting the support they need 4) Create your new syllabus using the ideas on the checklist, and provide it to students in multiple ways; online (i.e. Canvas), via email, and a hard copy the first day of class.
