Harvard Summer Institute: Universal Design in Education blog. A great resource for studying UDL.

"How-to" information for educators, school psychologists, and related professionals:

David Rose, co-founder of CAST, posted resources about Universal Design for Learning (UDL) for participants of the Harvard Summer Institute on UDL on a blog. If you are a member of a school-based team (problem-solving, intervention, curriculum, technology, positive behavior support, response-to-intervention, etc.), you will appreciate the links to the institute's presentations and related resources.

Here is a brief sample:

"When you need support - mentoring, scaffolding - in creating lesson plans for all learners, you can find help here: http://www.cast.org/teachingeverystudent/toolkits/tk_procedures.cfm?tk_id=21 More specifically, to set goals, look here: http://www.cast.org/teachingeverystudent/tools/udlgoalsetter.cfm To think about your class and what it needs: http://www.cast.org/teachingeverystudent/tools/classprofiletool.cfm To help in choosing or adapting materials, look here: http://www.cast.org/teachingeverystudent/tools/udlsolutionsfinder.cfm "


George Sugai is well-known for his work in the area of Positive Behavioral Support. His PowerPoint presentation at the UDL Institute was an introduction to the defining features of School-Wide Positive Behavior Supports within the context of Universal Design for Learning.
