Escape Room: Universal Design for Learning
Description:
Join us for an escape room adventure where you will use the principles of Universal Design for Learning (UDL) to solve a series of collaborative challenges with the ultimate goal: rescuing our stolen robot! UDL is a tool that empowers educators and designers to create learning experiences and curricular materials that are accessible, meaningful, and challenging for the anticipated range of student variability. Each escape room “riddle” will have a specific goal and challenge for participants to cooperatively solve using UDL, including designing a mini-lesson, crafting relevant image descriptions, and analyzing formative assessments. In one challenge, participants will experience a middle school literacy platform designed with UDL. Help us rescue our robot before it is too late!
