The first resource for learning about UDL is YouTube. YouTube is an online video platform where individuals worldwide can post and watch videos. This is a great resource because it features videos from a diverse range of individuals, including professionals, who share their insights on universal design. This is relevant to my understanding of UDL because it provides information in a visual and listening-friendly way. This is great because UDL is committed to providing a way for everyone to learn. You can watch short videos that explain UDL in depth.

This is the CAST UDL Guidelines. CAST stands for Center for Applied Special Technology. This organization developed universal design for learning. The guidelines break UDL down into three categories: engagement, representation, and action & expression. This resource is relevant because it offers checkpoints and strategies for teachers to use in the classroom. This gives a clear structure of the three UDL principles you can apply.

The Novak Education website has all kinds of resources. The website offers teachers different kinds of practice tools to help them implement universal design. They offer development planning, UDL accessibility, accommodation crosswalks, and UDL choice boards. All of these resources were made to help better develop teaching methods using UDL. These resources are relevant to my understanding of universal design because the tools align directly with helping colleagues learn universal design.

This would be great for someone to look at when they are getting into UDL.
