Succeeding in the Inclusive Classroom: K-12 Lesson Plans Using Universal Design for Learning

Ideal for Introduction to Special Education/Introduction to Exceptionalities courses, this supplementary text provides strategies that pre-service and in-service teachers can use to apply the principles of Universal Design for Learning (UDL) to their lesson planning. UDL lesson planning considers up-front potential barriers that could limit access to instruction for some learners and helps teachers brainstorm possible solutions before lessons begin. The lessons included in this text are meant as a starting point for general education teachers who have students with special needs in their classrooms and can be adapted for K-12 learners with a wide range of challenges.
