Universal Design for Learning is the best way to teach all students effectively—but how can a busy teacher get started with UDL right now? Answers are in this vibrant, research-based guidebook, created by seasoned teacher and former UDL Coordinator Loui Lord Nelson. K-12 educators will learn how to use the three key principles of UDL—Engagement, Representation, and Action & Expression—to present information in multiple ways and meet the needs of diverse learners. Written in first person, like a face-to-face talk with a passionate educator, the book gives teachers a reader-friendly UDL primer and a practical framework for implementation, with detailed guidelines on lesson planning and checkpoints that help them stay on track.

USE UDL PRINCIPLES TO HELP STUDENTS:

sharpen executive function skills, such as goal-setting and strategy development
improve comprehension and information processing
stay engaged during lessons and overcome distractions
communicate effectively using multiple tools, including both high and low/no technology options
develop self-regulation and self-assessment skills
sustain effort and persistence
increase autonomy
show what they know through flexible, individualized assessment options

PRACTICAL MATERIALS:
Diverse examples of successfully using UDL across grades, sample assignments and activity ideas, and helpful tips and personal reflections from teachers and administrators.

Loui Lord Nelson, Ph.D., is a consultant specializing in universal design for learning (UDL). She recently completed a 1-year postdoctoral fellowship through Boston College and CAST. She has focused on K–12 professional development and systems change design and is conducting research in both areas.
