“Start with the goal and the content. What do you want to

teach?”- David Rose, CAST

UDL is not an all or nothing proposition

Did we meet our goals?

“Ultimately, what will separate new curricula from old is that they will reflect a new ecology for learning. That new ecology will put students at the center of the learning environment. And all students will not only learn, each in their own way; they also will teach. Every curriculum will not only teach, it will learn. In so doing, we will create an optimal ecology for learning, one in which the paths to learning are rich and diverse enough for all our students.”

-Rose and Gravel, 2012
