SUNY Erie’s goal is to support faculty by offering learning opportunities to improve their understanding of neurodiversity, self-regulation, and executive functions across a variety of learners. SUNY Erie’s Student Access Center serves approximately 825 students, but this includes only the students that self-identify and register with the SAC. Faculty can implement tools and techniques to assist all students in their classrooms.
Provide education at SUNY Erie Community College with robust customized training opportunities for up to 30 faculty members, that will build capacity in the implementation and roll-out of Universal Design for Learning (UDL), as a systemic framework for educational decision making.
Provide workshops that will deliver a series of professional development that focus on applying Universal Design for Learning to various aspects of postsecondary education. Provide SUNY Erie Faculty at least an 8-week hybrid workshop, consisting of self-paced learning and activities, live synchronous sessions to provide discussions, and small group learning activities. Facilitator will work with participants to help implement the taught concepts into Faculty’s needs. This would allow the opportunity to submit plans of implementation to be evaluated, to offer level 1 credentialling.
