What Is Universal Design for Learning (UDL)?Universal Design for Learning (U.D.L.) occurs when teachers provide curricula and instruction that address the needs of all students, regardless of learning, physical, or behavioral challenges.
Here’s an Idea!Why don’t we require politicians to pass a standardized test to assure that they meet minimum competency standards in written and oral communication, history, civics, law, ethical practice, business, problem solving, finance, psychology, collaboration, and cultural anthropology? Surely they will agree to do so. If they require children and teachers to pass competency exams, shouldn’t they be charged with the same task?
