The UDL Guidelines are presented as a graphic organizer and is a tool used to design learning experiences that meet the needs of learners. This website describes the graphic organizer in detail, explains how the framework is structured and should be read, as well as what each aspect of the UDL guidelines mean. 

CAST (2018). Universal Design for Learning Guidelines version 2.2. 

The CAPMSE design team worked collaboratively to build a K-8 math and science lesson repository. The design team vetted lessons based on the Universal Design for Learning framework. The intention of the repository was to have ready-to-use k-8 math and science lessons that were accessible in a distance learning environment, a digital environment, and/or an in-person classroom setting. 

Analyzing lessons and recognizing barriers, the need for UDL was critical to optimize learning for all students, especially in the mist of the pandemic. Utilizing the UDL framework, lessons were redesigned and became the skeletal frame to guide the learning in the lessons.

This session will introduce to participants a virtual reality social skills tool for students with social skill deficits.  Available across various platforms (e.g., Chrome, iPad, Oculus), students have the possibility of address social emotional challenges across 10 social skill domains.  Participants will learn about the tool, its alignment to the UDL Framework, and how this can be used by students and their educators to address social skill deficits in a personalized user friendly format. In addition to the virtual reality tool, educators will also learn about a tool that facilitates the practice and generalization of the learning social skill in the “real” classroom.

The Universal Design for Learning (UDL) Certificate is designed to engage professors in self-directed learning, interactive group learning, one-on-one coaching, and peer-to-peer sharing activities, as they work through understanding and applying the UDL framework at progressively deeper levels. The certificate is designed to leverage and connect UDL expertise across the college to support sustainable adoption. We compare this long-term goal to the growth of the ‘rhizome’. Participants will be encouraged to reflect on how aspects of this model could be implemented at their own institutions.

Educators around the world are sharing UDL with each other, but what are they sharing, why are they sharing it, and how are they sharing it? This session will tap into the vast experiences of three UDL influencers to guide participants through identifying what their participants need and where to start within the UDL framework.

This session dives into an impact study Goalbook conducted in conjunction with WestEd and DC Public schools, using a mixed-methods approach to answer the following research questions:

• What impact does the UDL framework have on teacher classroom practice?
• How can districts support teachers’ use of UDL in classrooms?

This study examined how the UDL framework is used to design instruction and facilitate differentiated lesson planning through instructional coaching at the K-12 level. The findings support the body of research that suggests the UDL framework aids educators in designing differentiated learning experiences accessible for all learners. Both teachers and instructional coaches cited Goalbook Toolkit as a critical tool in utilizing the UDL framework within their instructional design and coaching. Ongoing evaluations following this initial study reveal promising applications of increased teacher efficacy in understanding and applying UDL principles and strategies to support diverse learner needs.
