JEDI Workshop- Planning One Class with UDL: A Why–What–How Approach

Universal Design for Learning (UDL) can feel overwhelming at the scale of an entire course. This 60-minute workshop focuses instead on a more manageable entry point: a single class meeting.

Building on ideas introduced in the JEDI PIE 2 module (though no prior participation is required), we will explore the UDL guidelines through the lens of Why–What–How:

• Why does this day matter for students? (Engagement)
• What is essential for them to learn? (Representation)
• How can they engage with and demonstrate learning in flexible ways? (Action & Expression)

Participants will apply this framework to one upcoming class session and consider how small, intentional design choices can scale across a semester. The goal is not a full course redesign, but a sustainable planning habit that makes individual class meetings clearer, more inclusive, and easier to navigate for both students and instructors.
