UDL Implementation
The framework of UDL consists of instructional approaches that provide students with choices and alternatives in the materials, content, tools, contexts, and supports they use. But in addition to challenging teachers to be more flexible, UDL provides guidelines for creating flexibility that is both systematic and effective. These guidelines are derived from research on the learning brain and knowledge of the qualities of digital media. How do we use these fields of knowledge to develop systematic methods for increasing classroom flexibility? (Rose & Meyer, 2002)

It challenges teachers to incorporate flexibility into instructional methods and materials as a way to accommodate every student in the classroom. (Rose & Meyer, 2002)
