Topic 3: The UDL Guidelines Graphic Organizer

The UDL Guidelines graphic organizer is a tool developed by CAST to provide concrete support for educators and others who wished to implement the UDL framework. The UDL Guidelines graphic organizer is not a scoring guide but is a set of concrete suggestions that can be applied to instructional design to reduce barriers and maximize learning opportunities according to specific learning goals. According to CAST, there is no set order in which to use the Guidelines and one would not use every Guideline in a single learning opportunity. Educators are encouraged to “strategically mix and match Guidelines and Considerations that reduce barriers and support all learners in reaching the learning goal” (CAST, 2018).
