This is an excellent resource for school leaders, one that is full of practical suggestions for making learning environments more inclusive with Universal Design for Learning.”
Novak and Woodlock recognize that changing school and district culture for the better starts with specific day-to-day practices rooted in a broader commitment to inclusivity. Universal Design for Learning is a great lever for change, and these authors offer both the vision and details to make change happen.”
In my 30 years as an educator, I’ve never come across a book that made so much practical sense. This engaging book inspires school leaders at every level to advance inclusive strategies and approaches that can change outcomes for all learners. The UDL Playbook is practical and promising, wise and witty. Every administrator needs a copy.”
