Why UDL
UDL is not meant to be “one more thing”; it’s a mindset and mechanism for doing the things hard-working educators like you are already trying to do. To help illustrate the connections between UDL and key efforts, and to support you to communicate those connections to others, the CCEE partnered with TextHelp to create informational videos and curated resources along the various “on-ramps” to Universal Design for Learning. These tools can support your learning and also become part of your communication toolkit as you work to build buy–in in your organization.
