Universal Design for Learning (UDL) is a framework for addressing the educational needs of diverse and variable learners in many settings across many stages of life. It is a means to eradicate persistent inequities in education—and it is an even more powerful tool when used as a lens for shaping educational systems, designs, and initiatives.
This year’s Annual Symposium invited experts across various fields to explore more deeply how UDL can be used as a lens to see the work of teaching and learning. We highlighted the promising ways UDL has already made great practices even better and co-created a vision for making UDL ubiquitous as a lens for our collective work of designing learning without limits.
