UDL

Universal Design for Learning

CAST (Center for Applied Science Technology) developed Universal Design for Learning (UDL). UDL is a framework to improve and optimize teaching and learning for all people based on scientific insights into how humans learn. Our nation’s K-12 education law, The Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) defines and endorses Universal Design for Learning.  While UDL is not mentioned specifically in Ohio’s Strategic Plan for Education, it is connected to many of the priority strategies related to highly effective teaching and instruction.
