Universal Design for Learning (UDL) is an instructional framework to guide the development of learning that enables all learners to be successful. Drawing on research in neuroscience and the learning sciences, UDL provides a set of principles and guidelines that enable consideration of how learners vary and provide instructional design that is equitable. Lessons designed using the UDL framework offer options that enable learners with varying needs and preferences to access and engage with the learning. Three core UDL principles focus on (1) providing multiple means of expressing learning, (2) providing multiple means of accessing learning, and (3) providing multiple means of engagement.

An Introduction to UDL in the Science Classroom

Michael Harvey

Learn how to take your school’s reading temperature and create a leadership team that monitors this school-wide initiative. Use a checklist for taking your school’s reading temperature as well as questions for your leadership team and English language arts teachers to assess where they are on the culture-of-reading-timeline. There’s support for creating a work-in-progress plan, how and why to include teachers and staff in the process, and the reasons for reviewing and adjusting the plan as you move forward with building a school full of readers.  You’ll explore the roles of stakeholders who affect a culture of reading as well as the how-to of developing, funding, and maintaining culturally diverse classroom libraries that meet the reading needs of all students. Once you’ve implemented creating a school-wide culture of reading, there’s a survey for teachers and the leadership team that can support sustaining the work year after year.  Each of the five modules contains the research that supports the content and an interactive component, “Reflect and Connect” that invites you to take a pause in your learning. You’ll reflect on a key point, and work with colleagues, students, and/or others taking the course to expand your understandings. In addition, each module closes with a video of Laura Robb and Evan Robb discussing ideas that move beyond the module’s content.
