The Landmark College NSF STRIVE program is advancing inclusive practices in STEM education by offering a valuable professional development opportunity through Landmark College’s Institute for Research and Training (LCIRT). 

On the morning of Tuesday, April 7, Dr. Marie Saddlemire of LCIRT will draw on her extensive experience in curriculum design, accessibility services, and working with neurodiverse students for this in-depth workshop. Participants will explore and build a strong foundation for integrating Universal Design for Learning (UDL) into STEM classrooms, grounded in UDL’s three core pillars: Representation, Action and Expression, and Engagement.

The three-hour workshop will blend practical theory with real-world classroom applications, offering concrete strategies and inspiration for supporting learners with a wide range of strengths, preferences, and needs.

The event is free and open to all and will be held in person at the Brooks O'Brien Auditorium in the Lewis Building on Landmark College’s campus in Putney, Vermont. Registration is now open. If you are planning to attend, please register today to save your spot.

This event is one of many workshops made possible through the National Science Foundation’s Science and Technology Research Initiative for the Vermont Economy (NSF STRIVE). NSF STRIVE leverages Landmark College’s expertise—along with that of its partners—to strengthen Vermont’s research ecosystem and expand access to STEM learning for all learners.
