Making Rural CS Education Equitable and Accessible with UDL

January 16, 2025
EXPO HALL LEADERSHIP ROUND TABLES: BOOTH 3386
Classroom Leaders
Teachers in rural schools face unique challenges in bringing CS to their students, but universal design for learning (UDL) principles can help these educators improve learning and make computer science education more accessible to their students. In this session, we will explore how UDL can remove barriers to CS education and help teachers create inclusive and equitable learning environments in rural schools. We’ll discuss the value of UDL for rural CS classes, explore collaborative strategies to improve academic achievement, discuss the use of co-teaching as a means of expanding CS access in rural schools, and examine how to use freely available curriculum with UDL principles. Teachers will leave the session with ideas, connections, and CS resources they can use immediately in their rural classrooms.
