UDL in Classroom Practice

For UDL to become a reality in schools we need new more flexible materials from curriculum developers, professional development practices that support educators in the UDL approach and policies that support individualized goals, learning methods, and assessment.

• Implementing UDL: Goals, Teaching, and Assessment

No single curriculum or software program can provide all of the flexibility needed to create a UDL environment. This requires assembling a variety of tools, programs, materials, and Web sites that can be used in different combinations for different learners and for different teaching purposes. This section reviews practical approaches to UDL implementation in educational environments.
• Envisioning Future Curriculum

This section reviews CAST’s vision for a new curriculum rooted in a UDL format.
• Stories from the Classroom

The implementation of the principles of Universal Design for Learning is best illustrated through stories from the classroom. In this section, best practices will be highlighted and teachers will provide concrete examples of applying the concepts of UDL to practice.
