In this workshop, we will focus on practical strategies for creating an inclusive learning environment from the start of your course, specifically designed for for large classes with more than 50 students While inclusion and diversity are essential values in education, integrating these concepts into daily teaching and course content can be challenging. Using the key principles of Universal Design for Learning (UDL) as our foundation we will discuss how they can be integrated into your teaching to support and engage all students. You will learn how to apply these inclusive teaching strategies to develop a classroom that caters and accommodates to diverse learning modes and needs, ensuring that every student has the necessary support to succeed. This workshop focuses on larger class settings which allow for more personalized interactions and targeted support.
