Voices from the Field: Implementing and Scaling-Up Universal Design for Learning in Teacher Preparation Programs
Moore, Eric J.; Smith, Frances G.; Hollingshead, Aleksandra; Wojcik, Brian
Journal of Special Education Technology, v33 n1 p40-53 Mar 2018
There is increasing pressure on universities in the United States to meet the needs of diverse learners. This fact increases the urgency for implementation and scaling up of Universal Design for Learning (UDL) in higher education. This qualitative study draws two major insights from interviews with six faculty members from universities and colleges around the United States who have experienced a degree of success (personal to institutional) in implementing UDL. First, successful implementation and scaling up of UDL initiatives often occur when UDL is presented in response to a clear problem, issue, or inquiry rather than more direct approaches. Second, I articulate an emerging conceptualization of "levels" of implementation and apparent aspects that enable an institution or group to move from lower to higher tiers.
