| Abstract: |
At CUHK, we have a diverse group of students. Every individual has their own educational needs, whether they are Special Educational Needs (SEN) or non-SEN. In fact, the way people learn is as unique as their fingerprints. To achieve the curriculum goal and make sure our diverse group of students get the most in the classroom, the curriculum needs to be designed from the start to meet this diversity. Universal Design for Learning is a method of designing a curriculum that lessens hindrances and enhances learning outcomes for every student. This workshop aims to introduce the UDL, the application of UDL in a curriculum, the teaching effectiveness of UDL implementation, provide some practical strategies, and tips for teachers on supporting all students in their learning journey. Also, exploring approaches to address students’ learning needs during the case studies session.
