"What is the very best instruction for English learners? How do we capitalize on and further develop the linguistic knowledge and skill of this segment of society? Nonie Lesaux and Julie Harris are exceedingly well qualified to address these questions. On the cutting edge of EL instruction, their combination of research knowledge and practical experience makes for guidance that can be trusted, and implemented, in classrooms throughout the country." -- Nell Duke, Series Editor, University of Michigan

“Universal Design for Learning is a framework developed to ‘optimize teaching and learning for all people based on scientific insights into how humans learn’ (CAST, 2018, para. 1).  It was developed to ensure access to rigorous learning opportunities for all students, and its guidelines can provide a set of principles that can be adapted for lesson planning in support of the instruction of English Learners [ELs]/Multilingual Learners [MLs].  The overall structure of UDL provides choices for teachers to ensure student engagement in the learning process (WHY learn), student understanding of the content (WHAT to learn), and student responses to learning (HOW to learn).”
