Founded in 2009, the National UDL Center supports the effective implementation of UDL by connecting stakeholders in the field and providing resources and information on advocacy, implementation, and research.
UDL Presentation Slides
The UDL Framework articulates the importance of executive function skills. The executive function skills are important because they allow learners to take advantage of the learning environment by setting long-term goals, planning effective strategies for reaching those goals, monitoring ones progress, and modifying strategies as needed. If there are problems with executive function students devote extra time and effort to managing these skills and reduce their capacity for "higher level" thinking. The UDL framework scaffolding executive function skills so that students can process easier and support higher level executive skills and strategies so that students can gain stills in self-monitoring their progress.

A full day workshop on Universal Design for Learning and the Arts presented by VSA Minnesota and Perpich Center for the Arts Education
1 hour presentation as an Introduction to Universal Design for Learning for pre-service teachers.
Introduction the Universal Design for Learning Full Day Training. Includes Framework, Guidelines, Technology and Systemic Implementation.
New to Universal Design for Learning?
These links are an introduction to the topic of UDL. Start here if you are new to the concept.
The 2013 version on the UDL Guidelines is oriented to place more emphasis on the affective network.
Meyer, A., Rose, D.H., & Gordon, D. (2014) Universal design for learning: Theory and practice, Wakefield MA: CAST
These two online modules introduce the theory, principles and application of Universal Design for Learning (UDL) to teacher candidates and in-service teachers. They provide higher education faculty with a multimedia, interactive online-learning environment that can be embedded in instructional methods courses. They are designed to be flexible enough to be used as part of an online, hybrid or face-to-face course. It is suggested that you create an interactive community of practice using a blog, wiki or other type of interactive web 2.0 media.
Entire book is online for free!
This book is the first comprehensive presentation of the principles and applications of Universal Design for Learning (UDL)--a practical, research-based framework for responding to individual learning differences and a blueprint for the modern redesign of education.
Teaching Every Student in the Digital Age lays out the foundation of UDL, including neuroscience research on learner differences, the effective uses of new digital media in the classroom, and how insights about students who do not "fit the mold" can inform the creation of flexible curricula that help everyone learn more effectively.
The book also addresses UDL's practical applications--how UDL principles can help you set appropriate goals for every student, choose the methods and materials that give every student optimum instructional support, and Ensure the fair and accurate assessment of every student's progress.
Teacher Strategies for UDL Lessons in the Classroom
These are strategies for implementing UDL into your lesson planning and classroom activities.
This strategy was developed by Dave L. Edyburn a Professor in the Department of Exceptional Education at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee.
The CAST Universal Design for Learning (UDL) Curriculum self check is a systematic way to review your goals, materials, methods, and assessment with hints on "UDLizing" your curriculum.
The UDL Exchange is a place to browse and build resources, lessons and collections. You can use and share these materials to support instruction guided by the UDL principles.
For Parents
Websites, booklets, and articles to introduce parents to Universal Design for Learning and tips on advocating for UDL in their schools.
A guide for parents with children transitioning to middle school and beyond, specifically highlighting what parents can do to help implement UDL approaches in the classrooms. A publication of the National Center on Secondary Education and Transition.
Technology to Support UDL
There is so much technology out there, you just need to get creative! This is not meant to be a comprehensive list, but includes some sites that do offer many options and a few of my favorite tools.
A Free Technology Toolkit to support UDL in the Classroom. This is a wiki, so you can join and contribute!
The document is a list created by Minnesota Department of Education to guide instruction using the UDL principles without the aid of high level of technology. Low tech includes items that are readily available in most classrooms.
Universal Design for Learning and the Arts
In this article, Don Glass, Anne Meyer, and David H. Rose examine the intersection of arts education and Universal Design for Learning (UDL) to inform the design of better art, curricula, and UDL checkpoints. They build a case for the contribution of the arts to expert learning across the affective, recognition, and strategic neural networks and argue for making affective and reflective learning outcomes more explicit in the arts. Throughout this piece, the authors call for a vision of the arts playing an increasing role in providing engaging learning options in an integrated general
curriculum.
