Many teacher resources explore the fundamentals of Universal Design for Learning (UDL). This one takes UDL to the next level for educators who understand the basics—and can’t wait to start using UDL in their lesson plans and classrooms. In this practical, accessible guidebook, UDL expert Patti Kelly Ralabate walks teachers through the entire UDL lesson planning process, from developing learning goals to monitoring student progress.

This book guides teachers to

• review and understand the big ideas of UDL
• create learning goals
• make sure learning goals are S.M.A.R.T.
• design lesson plans that address learner variability
• measure what matters
• infuse UDL features into traditional instructional methods
• enhance UDL lessons with materials, tools, and media
• use self-reflection strategies and professional learning communities

Through vignettes, exercises, video demonstrations, and other immediately useful resources, K—12 educators will discover how to translate UDL from theory to practice and plan lessons that meet every learner’s needs.
