UDL, Neurodiversity and Math
Overview
This course invites educators to rethink mathematics instruction through the lenses of Universal Design for Learning (UDL), neurodiversity, and strengths-based teaching. Participants will explore how to design mathematics classrooms where all students, including and especially students with disabilities, can engage as capable mathematical thinkers and sensemakers. Through classroom videos, educator interviews, and reflection opportunities, participants will examine how to build on student thinking, remove barriers to participation, and create more accessible and inclusive mathematics experiences. The module connects UDL principles with the California Mathematics Framework and offers concrete strategies for fostering student agency, collaboration, and deep mathematical understanding across grade levels.
