From: Sangeeta Bishop <Sangeeta.Bishop(a)cuny.edu> Date: Tuesday, October 1, 2024 at 5:24 PM To: Sangeeta Bishop <Sangeeta.Bishop(a)cuny.edu> Subject: Universal Design for Learning (UDL) Online Training and Campus Collaboratives Dear Department Chairs, I am writing to seek your support in promoting a new faculty training initiative. Your help as Department Chair is crucial in ensuring this initiative reaches all our faculty members. Universal Design for Learning (UDL) is a teaching approach that fosters inclusion by removing barriers and providing flexibility. Professional development in UDL has been recommended in the Higher Education Opportunity Act, the Strengthening Career and Technical Education for the 21st Century Act, and other federal legislation. * UDL Online Training The CUNY Innovative Teaching Academy is developing an asynchronous training course in Brightspace that demonstrates UDL guidelines through examples of course design, content, tools, activities, research, assessments, and software demonstrations (when applicable). This training will cover the newly updated UDL Version 3.0 guidelines, and nine modules will be released throughout the 2024-2025 academic year. Please share this promotional email with your faculty: UDL Training Promotional Email.docx <https://cuny907-my.sharepoint.com/:w:/g/personal/jessica_murray80_login_cun…> * UDL Collaborative Facilitators The Office of Student Inclusion Initiatives is also supporting a UDL Collaborative at campuses throughout CUNY to accompany the online UDL training. As of September 30, 2024, we have facilitators for 14 CUNY campuses. We would like to find a facilitator for the following campuses: Baruch, Bronx Community College, College of Staten Island, John Jay College of Criminal Justice, and New York City College of Technology. If you are a Department chair at one of these schools, please share this call for applications with your department: Call for Applications - UDL Collaborative Facilitator<https://cuny907-my.sharepoint.com/:w:/g/personal/jessica_murray80_login_cun…>. Faculty who complete the self-paced modules will receive a certificate at the end of the year. Please contact Jessica Murray with any questions about the training or collaborative facilitators: jessica.murray(a)cuny.edu<mailto:jessica.murray@cuny.edu>. Thank you for your assistance, Best, Sangeeta _________ Sangeeta K Bishop, Ph.D. Interim University Dean for Faculty Affairs City University of New York (CUNY) 205 E. 42nd Street, 9th floor New York, NY 10017 646-664-8068 Sangeeta.Bishop(a)cuny.edu<mailto:Sangeeta.Bishop@cuny.edu>
