Applications for Spring 2025 are now closed. Check back in the fall!
The principal goal of the AIIDE TLC—Advancing Intentional, Individualized Designs for Education through a Teaching and Learning Collaborative—is to create spaces for interdisciplinary discussion and practical activities that will expand faculty participants' application of teaching and learning practices grounded in the Universal Design for Learning (UDL) framework.
"AIIDE TLC has significantly enriched my journey as a course instructor. Through this experience, I've cultivated numerous actionable insights that will not only enhance my next course delivery but also shape my approach to mentoring students in my research lab. As a relatively new educator, this collaborative has proven invaluable in refining my teaching pedagogy, empowering me to be more effective in fostering engaging learning environments."
- Dr. Stephanie Pike Moore, Adjunct Faculty & Research Scientist, Department of Population and Quantitative Health Sciences, School of Medicine
AIIDE TLC Program objectives are:
Define the three main principles of UDL: engagement, representation, and action & expression
Actively apply these principles in your teaching and learning practice
Recognize personal biases (both conscious and unconscious) that might affect participants’ teaching
Select and make use of multiple means of engaging all students in your specific learning environment
Start drafting teaching practices for the application of UDL framework principles
Locate and interact with resources at Case Western Reserve University that would support your evolving "plus 1" engagement practices in teaching and research
Write an intentional strategy for sharing these resources with others
The AIIDE TLC is open to all teaching faculty at CWRU as a 14-week seminar program. Meetings will take place weekly on Wednesdays from 12:45pm - 2:00pm (except for Spring Break). Faculty participants should allow approximately four hours per week for readings, journal reflections, and artifact development. Participation in this interdisciplinary collaborative requires a commitment to engage with colleagues for all 14 weekly seminars. Faculty who successfully complete the AIIDE TLC will receive a $2,000 grant for academic purposes.
