2018 UDL-IRN International Summit

Without the necessary training, guidance, and support, currently practicing teachers are faced with a dilemma in creating accessible lessons that meet the needs of all students (CAST, 2013; Courey et al., 2013). With the states mandating the Common Core state standards and those Universal Design for Learning, (UDL) principles to be integrated as a viable tool of instruction for all learners, it will be pivotal for teachers to receive proper training in this task (Williams, King, & Warren, 2011). Participants will learn how a little research study quantitatively showed that lesson plans were more integrative of UDL principles, but also led to transfer of learning.
