Strengthening Tier 1 Instruction with UDL: Rethinking Whole-Group Instruction

from The Balance, by Dr. Catlin Tucker · host catlinthebalance

In this episode, I explore how Universal Design for Learning (UDL) can help us strengthen Tier 1 instruction and redesign whole-group lessons to work for more learners. Using a simple Hook → Chunk → Pause → Process framework, I connect UDL, MTSS, and cognitive science to share practical strategies for reducing barriers and increasing student engagement.
