Universal Design for Learning (UDL) is a proactive educational framework designed to make learning accessible for all students, especially students with disabilities, by providing multiple ways for students to engage with course content, access information, and demonstrate what they have learned. In this workshop, we will explore the first principle of Universal Design for Learning: Engagement, which focuses on the affective aspects of student motivation, emotion, and belonging. Participants will be introduced to strategies to recruit and sustain student interest, foster an inclusive classroom environment, and support student emotional capacity. These strategies are relevant across a wide range of TA roles. You do not need to be an independent instructor or have complete control over course design for UDL to make a meaningful difference. Even small choices in how you facilitate activities, communicate expectations and feedback, and present content can improve access for all students.
