Summary:

"Universal Design for Learning (UDL) is recognized as an evidence-based conceptual framework for curriculum and instruction that provides access to learning for all learners, no matter their age, skills, talents, or needs. Yet the tremendous potential of UDL is still unrealized. Too many educators have a limited view of who can benefit from the framework and how to apply it as a supportive lens for designing learning environments and instructional practices for ALL learners. This book specially addresses gaps in knowledge and promotes the development of a deep understanding of how to effectively implement UDL as a support for access and cognitive growth. This book will a. Demonstrate how UDL is a vehicle for transforming educators' thinking, i.e., helps educators develop a "UDL Lens" for designing lessons and curriculum that supports learning of all students. b. Support UDL application through evidence-based examples that document how educators use the UDL framework to maximize learning for all students. This book debunks that myth that UDL is a special education strategy and illustrates how "accessibility" and support are needed for all learners. Using this broader understanding of UDL allows every teacher to develop a mindset that will address the needs of every learner"-- Provided by publisher.
