Registration for this event closed May 1. We will offer this event again in Spring 2027.
Faculty are invited to participate in the second STEM Education Retreat, an in-person professional development workshop focused on Using Universal Design for Learning (UDL) in STEM Courses. The workshop will be held on May 19 from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. and is open to any faculty who teach STEM courses across Mason’s colleges and schools. Participation is limited to the first 15 faculty who register. The Canvas course will open on May 6.
During the workshop, participants will explore how to apply UDL principles to the design and delivery of STEM courses, with an emphasis on creating inclusive learning environments that proactively address learner variability. Faculty will learn strategies for aligning student learning outcomes, instructional activities, and assessments using the UDL framework. The session will include hands-on activities, guided reflection on current course design, and collaborative discussion. Participants will leave with practical, actionable strategies to implement UDL in at least one STEM course, including applications in laboratory, quantitative, and problem-based learning contexts.
