The ultimate goal of UDL is for all learners to become “expert learners.” Expert learners are purposeful and motivated, resourceful and knowledgeable, and strategic and goal-directed about learning. UDL is a powerful approach because from the very start of your lesson, it helps you anticipate and plan for allyour learners. It can help you make sure...
Universal design can be found just about anywhere you look — both inside and outside your school. Curb cuts change sidewalks so that they’re accessible to the greatest range of users, including people who use wheelchairs and those pushing strollers. Closed captions make television accessible to people who are deaf or who have hearing loss, as well ...
UDL describes human variability based on parts of the brain that manage the “why” (affective network), the “what” (recognition network), and the “how” (strategic network) of learning. Watch as CAST co-founder David Rose explains why UDL emphasizes variability instead of disability. CAST developed UDL guidelinesthat are based on three main principle...
Families may not be familiar with the concept of students being active participants in setting their learning goals. They may have questions about letting students make their own learning choices. Explain at back-to-school night or in a class email that you’ll be using Universal Design for Learning. You can even share a family-friendly article abou...
Universal Design for Learning Guidelines The UDL Guidelines are a tool to support educators, curriculum developers, researchers, parents, and more to apply the UDL framework to practice. These guidelines offer a set of concrete suggestions that can be applied to any discipline or domain to ensure that all learners can access and participate in meaningful, challenging learning opportunities.
Universal Design for Learning (UDL) is a framework for teaching and learning that is proactive. It recommends designing backward for student variability, arguing that variability, i.e. differences in how we think, interact, learn, and respond, vary across learners. To understand what UDL is, it can help to understand what its' not.
Universal Design for Learning (UDL) is an approach to teaching and learning that gives all students equal opportunity to succeed. To understand what UDL is, it helps to understand what it’s not. The word universal may throw you off. It may sound like UDL is about finding one way to teach all students. But UDL actually takes the opposite approach.
