A Practical Reader in Universal Design for Learning by David H Rose

A Practical Reader in Universal Design for Learning by David H Rose

Universal Design for Learning (UDL) stands at the forefront of contemporary efforts to create universal access to educational curricula for all students, including those with disabilities. The “universal” in UDL does not mean there is a single optimal solution for everyone. Instead, it underscores the need for flexible approaches to teaching and learning that meet the needs of different kinds of learners. In this first UDL Reader, Anne Meyer and David H. Rose, cofounders of CAST, the educational nonprofit that developed the UDL framework, bring together a collection of articles on the practical, classroom dimensions of the UDL revolution in education. The authors offer insights on learner differences, the capacities of new media in the classroom, and effective teaching and assessment practices. The volume also includes lessons from teacher professional development workshops, classroom-based research, and UDL practitioners themselves. A highly readable volume aimed particularly at school teachers and administrators, this book is also an uncommonly accessible introduction to UDL for all readers committed to creating improved and universal access to educational materials for all students.

David H. Rose and Anne Meyer are the directors of CAST. David H. Rose is Cast's chief scientist for cognition and learning and a lecturer at the Harvard Graduate School of Education. They are the coeditors, along with Chuck Hitchcock, of The Universally Designed Classroom.
