Universal Design for Learning (UDL)

New to UDL? Here's some helpful guidance to get you started:

Start all lesson planning and design using Universal Design for Learning by defining what is the most essential learning for all students to know and be able to do, and providing (a) multiple means of engagement, (b) multiple means of representation, and (c) multiple means of expression 

• Linked below is a 5 minute voice over (UDL Planning Voice Over with Video) that walks you through the why, what, and how of Universal Design. For some this will be familiar, for others this may feel new. For all of us, it is within our reach to plan for access for all learners. 

• Three planning tools:

  • • • • (1) Step by Step Planner 

        • (2) UDL Weekly Planning Sheet

        • (3) UDL Backwards Planning Template

• Collaborate: General educators and special educators collaboration will increase access for all.
