Kathleen McClaskey's insight:
A much anticipateed book on UDL research is now available.
"This book considers the major research areas that underlie UDL and call out for further exploration in the years ahead. Each of the book’s six chapters includes a groundbreaking article that is centrally related to the larger UDL project, along with reflections on that article by contemporary researchers. As David H. Rose notes in his afterword, "the authors of this collection have set out to do more than revitalize and illuminate the foundations of UDL. They have set out also to prepare the field—to set the context—for the kind of research that needs to come now.""

A concise, accessible, and current main text for the Introduction to Inclusive Teaching course. It is the only inclusion textbook available with a consistent, integrated emphasis on Universal Design for Learning (UDL)--an important, contemporary educational philosophy focused on using strategies and tools to help ALL students by accommodating their differences. This text also provides foundational information about children with disabilities who are included in today's classrooms, and the most effective strategies for teaching them alongside their typically developing peers. Featuring new case studies and sound research-based teaching and learning strategies, this hands-on text offers pre-service and in-service teachers a practical, flexible framework for effective instruction, classroom management, assessment, and collaboration in today's diverse classrooms.

Kathleen McClaskey's insight:
The UDL Implementation Research Network (UDL-IRN) is hosting a summit focusing on UDL implementation and associated research on March 12 & 13, 2015 at The University of Southern Mississippi. This beautiful campus is located on the Gulf of Mexico beach in Gulfport, MS. The intent of this summit is to gather practitioners and researchers to build networks for supporting the systematic implementation of UDL in pre-school, K-12, and higher education classrooms from across the globe.

Kentucky Virtual Library has created a visual tool to help students do research. This is an excellent model of how to present a step by step approach in a visual way that includes a set of tasks that students can follow in conducting research. The basic steps are:
1. Plan 2. Search for Information 3. Take notes 4. Use the Information 5. Report 6. Evaluate
Why UDL? Multiple Means of Representation and Engagement

Members of the UDL-IRN Research Committee will lead a discussion regarding the current state of research regarding UDL. They will direct attendees to resources that summarize the research base on UDL. Expect a lively discussion in whether we should refer to UDL as a promising practice (which does not affirm UDL as an evidence-based practice) an evidence based practice, or an evidence-based framework.
