Clearly written and well organised, this book shows how to apply the principles of universal design for learning (UDL) across all subject areas and grade levels. The editors and contributors describe practical ways to develop classroom goals, assessments, materials, and methods that use UDL to meet the needs of all learners. Specific teaching ideas are presented for reading, writing, science, mathematics, history, and the arts, including detailed examples and troubleshooting tips. Particular attention is given to how UDL can inform effective, innovative uses of technology in the inclusive classroom.

Key Features:

  • The most practical resource available on an evidence-based instructional framework that is growing in use.
  • UDL benefits both general and special education students by removing barriers and building supports for individualised learning.
  • Compared to other UDL titles, this book is more hands-on and covers all subject areas.
  • UDL is used in schools in multiple US states (including state-wide in Maryland); is taught in major universities, including Harvard and the Cal State system; and is the focus of $5 million in federal grants.
  • UDL initiatives are also in place in Australia, Canada, South Korea, Spain, and Portugal.

This book will be useful to general and special educators in grades K–8, literacy specialists, school psychologists, administrators, teacher educators, and graduate students.
