Universal Design For Learning (UDL)

UDL (Universal Design for Learning) is a problem-solving and design framework to support the variability of all learners. It can be leveraged to support teachers, administrators, and teams to set clear goals, remove barriers, and proactively design options to promote learning. UDL enhances many of our systems’ initiatives and promotes expert learners’ development.
