  • Explore two fields that inspired UDL: Universal Design in architecture (UD) and neuroscience. 
  • Dig into the concept of barriers: What are they? How can we work to identify them? What preexisting beliefs and attitudes do we bring to our understanding of barriers? 
  • Uncover the importance of articulating clear goals and explore how “tight goals and flexible means” can support educators to plan for the variability of the learners in their classrooms.
