UDL The Framework

• UDL provides a blueprint for creating
  instructional goals, methods, materials, and
  assessments that work for everyone--not a single,
  one-size-fits-all solution but rather flexible
  approaches that can be customized and adjusted
  for individual needs

• a set of principles for curriculum development
  that give all individuals equal opportunities to
  learn.
