    Join David Rose, Jenna Gravel, and Nicole-Tucker Smith for a conversation about the recent article, Cracks in the Foundation: Personal Reflection on the Past and Future of the UDL Guidelines.

  • The UDL Guidelines are a living, dynamic tool that is continuously developed based on new research and feedback from practitioners. Since the release of “Version 1.0” in 2008, CAST has released three other versions reflecting different structural and content changes. In 2020, CAST launched our most recent effort to update the UDL Guidelines. This update focuses specifically on updating the Guidelines through an equity lens.

There has been a strong call from the field—both practitioners and researchers alike—to more fully develop the Guidelines to address critical barriers rooted in biases and systems of oppression. The current update aims to respond to this call and to work toward fulfilling the promise of the Guidelines as a tool to guide the design of learning environments that more fully honor and value every learner.
