Have you ever heard a scholar say, “I’m bad at math,” or have you ever felt that way yourself? How would you like to be the person who changes that narrative and makes math accessible to all scholars you work with?

This self-paced course is designed to support elementary math educators in designing universally designed instruction in their classrooms. This course will provide strategies, resources, and practical tools aligned with the principles of Universal Design for Learning (UDL) to foster confident and capable young mathematicians.  

Throughout these modules, you'll reflect on your own teaching practices, uncover barriers that may be holding scholars back, and explore strategies to help all learners thrive in mathematics!
