SUMMARY:Effective Course Design: Backward Design and Universal Design for Learning
DESCRIPTION:Facilitators:\nCristina D’Amico\, Faculty Liaison Coordinator\, Graduate Student Development & TA Training\, CTSI/TATP\nMichal Kasprzak\, Assistant Director\, CTSI/TATP  \nJoin us for an engaging workshop where we delve into two essential frameworks for creating effective and inclusive courses: Backward Design and Universal Design for Learning (UDL).

We will also explore ways to integrate core principles of UDL—multiple means of representation\, expression\, and engagement—to design effective learning for students. By the end of the workshop\, participants will be equipped to apply inclusive strategies to their course planning and enhance student learning experiences.
