UDL in K-12 CS Education
This microcredential will equip K-12 Computer Science (CS) educators with the knowledge and practical skills to integrate the Universal Design for Learning (UDL) framework into their classrooms. Participants will develop a deeper understanding of how to apply UDL principles to address learner variability and promote learner agency in CS education. By the end of this course, you will be able to design CS lessons that empower every student to engage, learn, and succeed.
Please note: this is the second microcredential in a sequence. Before you can take this course, you must complete Intro to UDL, HLPs, & Accessibility in K-12 CS Education
Modules
Module 1: Intro to UDL
Establish a foundational understanding of the UDL framework, its origins, principles, and relevance to addressing learner variability in K-12 CS classrooms.
Module 2: Multiple Means of Engagement
Explore strategies for providing choice, fostering collaboration, and promoting self-regulation to motivate and sustain purposeful, engaged learners in CS activities.
Module 3: Multiple Means of Representation
Learn how to present CS concepts and information in varied formats (e.g., visual, auditory, hands-on) to ensure accessibility and support diverse recognition networks.
Module 4: Multiple Means of Action and Expression
Discover ways to offer flexible options for students to demonstrate their CS knowledge and skills, supporting varied strategic and motor networks for learning and achievement.
Module 5: Conclusion: Designing UDL-Aligned CS Lessons
Synthesize learning to create or revise a comprehensive UDL-aligned K-12 CS lesson plan that intentionally incorporates all three UDL principles to maximize accessibility and success for all learners.
