Web Seminar Series

Looking for ideas to make science more accessible for your students? Universal Design for Learning (UDL) is a powerful framework to increase access. Come experience a phenomenon-based lesson focused on student sensemaking, analyze it for UDL principles, and apply this to our own practice.

Designing with UDL can minimize barriers around accessibility so all learners can engage in meaningful, challenging learning opportunities. Participants will identify strategies embedded in phenomenon based instruction, gain concrete strategies to support access, and apply to their own instruction.

Program dates and times:

The four live web seminars are scheduled from 7:00 to 8:30 PM Eastern time. Specific program dates are below:  

• September 20, and 27, and, October 4, and 11, 2023

During the topic study participants have access to:

• A moderated private forum for group discussions with other topic study participants
• Digital resources and all NSTA online community tools (My Library, My Profile, Community Forums)
• All archive versions of the web seminars to watch on-demand.

Participants will receive a certificate from NSTA after each live web seminar for (1) attending the live program AND for (2) completing the post-program survey.

Groups of secondary teachers:

Science Leaders Can Sponsor Groups of Educators!  Are you a state, district, or school leader working to enhance your teachers' professional learning?  Please consider sponsoring a cohort of teachers to participate in the Increasing Accessibility for Equitable Sensemaking Using Universal Design for Learning: Topic Study for Secondary Teachers!

Cost to groups:

• $1,500 flat fee per cohort of 25 participants, regardless of their NSTA membership status. Additional participants (beyond 25) will be charged $60 per person.

If you are interested in sponsoring a group of at least 25 individuals, please contact Flavio Mendez via email ([email protected]) for a quote.
