UDL Tool #2: CAST Guidelines for English Learners (ELs) and Multilingual Learners (MLs)

ekc3 — 2026-01-12 10:49:16 UTC

“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).”
