“I’m really grateful for the time Dr. Anne-Marie Womack spent with our faculty, especially following the “quick pivot” to remote teaching as a result of COVID-19. She led participants through a day of activities and reflections on how Universal Design can create more accessible and inclusive learning experiences for our students—as well as improve our own experiences as teachers. She was generous with her time and actively modelled the principles she taught. Her fun, hands-on approach and professional delivery made for a fantastic overall experience!”
Dr. Christa Craven, Dean for Faculty Development, The College of Wooster
