What is Universal Design for Learning (UDL)?

Universal Design for Learning (UDL) is a research-based framework that helps educators design learning experiences that are inclusive, flexible, and accessible to all students. Rooted in neuroscience, UDL encourages teachers to proactively plan for learner variability by offering multiple means of engagement, representation, and expression.

Why is UDL Crucial?

Every classroom is filled with diverse learners; students have different strengths, needs, backgrounds, and interests. UDL empowers educators to remove barriers to learning and create environments where all students can thrive. By embracing UDL, teachers shift from a one-size-fits-all model to one that values choice, equity, and accessibility.
