This PLD focuses on understanding the Universal Design for Learning (UDL), as well as what it means and why educators need it. Teacher Aides will be introduced to the UDL framework with reference to the New Zealand context and the ways in which it could be applied within the classroom.

‍

You will understand why UDL is important to improve your teaching and learning practice, and what is meant by Inclusive Practice. The course will build your skills to apply UDL to the classroom, and you will understand where to go for more information and resources for UDL. Applying the principles of UDL enables equity in education and reduces barriers to education in the classroom and in the mindset of educators. Teacher Aides will be able to address the needs of their students following UDL.
