Universal Design for Learning – Professional Development Network

January 16, 2014

Building on the momentum of the January   Conference 2014, the Office of Academic Innovation invites faculty  interested in expanding their knowledge of UDL to join the UDL Professional Development Network (UDL-PDN) during the spring semester as a member of the Towson UDL professional learning communities (PLCs).

PLC members will work in small groups to explore advances in the learning sciences and flexible curricular materials in order   to develop a deep understanding of UDL and its application to instruction in higher education. Each PLC will be led by a Towson faculty coach with a background in UDL and PLC facilitation.

PLC members will receive:

• Monthly interactive professional development sessions on UDL
• Access to free materials that support flexible curriculum design
• A $500 stipend (paid in Summer 2014 and contingent upon completion of course materials that apply the UDL framework)

Please complete    and submit the signed UDL Professional Learning Community Application to Dr. Jane Neapolitan, Assistant Provost, Office of Academic Innovation,   Cook Library Room 405, or jneapolitan@towson.edu   by January 31, 2014.

For questions regarding participating in the PLC, please contact Dr. Liz Berquist (EBerquist@towson.edu).
