UDL is an inclusive model for teaching that centers the needs of students with disabilities, with the overall goal of creating a learning environment that is accessible to all students without the need for accommodations. In this fourth workshop, Flexible Assessment, we will investigate variation in assessment and the use of a common rubric to enhance student choice and creativity. Many times, students understand the content, but the traditional test is a barrier to success. Using a variety of assessments gives a better overall measure of understanding. Variation in assessments increases success and accessibility for all learners while maintaining high standards.
