Universal design for learning (UDL)
More ways to access…More ways to participate…More ways to demonstrate learning…
Resulting in more equitable access to…
the general education curriculum for ALL learners

Goals of UDL
“A scientifically valid framework for guiding educational practice” ~Higher Education Opportunity Act, 2008
• Improving access, participation & achievement
• Eliminating or reducing physical & academic barriers
• Valuing diversity through proactive design

Goals of UDL
“Barriers to learning are not, in fact, inherent in the capabilities of learners, but instead arise in learners’ interactions with inflexible educational goals, materials, methods, and assessments.”
~Teaching Every Student in the Digital Age, CAST, 2003
