What is UDL?

It is important not to regard UDL as a "checklist." In a UDL environment, teaching serves as an iterative design process in which educators consistently consider the rationale and methods behind their instruction while reflecting on student learning outcomes. The considerations outlined under each guideline offer practical recommendations for addressing and planning for the inherent variability present in any classroom setting. These strategies are grounded in a multi-year review of thousands of research articles that have identified specific empirically validated instructional techniques, adaptations, and interventions.
