Ep. 12: Universal Design for Life: What Unnecessary Barriers Can We Eliminate? (Part 1)

Universal Design for Learning is an attempt to accommodate the needs of all learners by removing unnecessary hurdles. In this episode, Brian and Kasey wrestle with what UDL means for schools, classrooms, and daily living. But they only scratch the surface. Offering suggestions such as living an untimed life, savoring simple moments, and providing opportunities for all students to learn at their own rate and in their own way (link below), this episode sets the stage for a more in-depth and direct conversation of how we can apply UDL in our lives, starting today.
