Why UDL: Equity, Agency & Self-Advocacy for ALL

Description:

As schools move from a traditional system to a personalized, competency-based system, we need to evaluate the tools we have used around ‘learners and learning’ &‘teachers and teaching,’ and understand how a learning science like Universal Design for Learning (UDL) can nurture & build a culture of learning and inclusivity in schools. Then you may ask, why UDL? So that equity can be at the center of the this culture, and agency and self-advocacy can be realized by every learner.
