Defining Universal Design for Learning
a scientifically valid framework for
guiding educational practice that:
reduces barriers in instruction,
provides appropriate accommodations,
supports and challenges, and maintains
high achievement expectations for all
students,
including students with disabilities and
students who are limited English proficient.

Critical Elements of UDL Instruction
Clear goals
Intentional planning for learner variability
Flexible methods and materials
Timely progress monitoring

result in increased benefit for
everyone.
