Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

Ensuring that all students achieve the same high standard of learning would be much easier if you could quickly and easily customize lesson plans and curriculum materials to each student's needs, interests, and skills level. Here's a book that explains how to make that ideal a reality. Explore the concept of Universal Design for Learning and how it can help you meet standards while you address the unique needs of each student. Drawing from brain research and the power of digital technology, the authors explain how to: Set appropriate goals for every student. Choose the teaching methods and materials that give every student optimum instructional support. Ensure the fair and accurate assessment of every student's progress.

A school case study, a set of templates, and links to online resources get you started in applying the concepts to your classroom. A companion website offers interactive experiences, classroom videos, lessons, online discussions, interviews with experts, student case stories, resource links, and more in-depth information.

Includes bibliographical references (p. 200-209) and index.

CHOICE Review

Developed by the co-directors of the Center for Applied Special Technology (CAST), this volume advocates for a universal design for learning (UDL), "a research-based set of principles that forms a practical framework for using technology to maximize learning opportunities for every student." These principles are founded on research on brain functions and on the efficacy of flexible instructional media. The authors find that there are no "regular" students and that learning is a complex series of bottom-up and top-down, instinctual and socially developed processes of recognition, strategic, and affective networks of brain functions within individualized learning contexts. They also conclude that digital media have power to be versatile, transformable, easily marked for diversity of presentation, and networked with other learning resources. The authors provide case studies that outline the applications of UDL to enhance learning. They suggest that UDL may more accurately assess student progress, support individual differences, and enable embedded assessment to provide ongoing feedback. The text includes appendixes of planning templates and references. The parallel online version demonstrates "the flexible, interactive nature of networked digital materials" through threaded discussions and an expanding set of related Web links. Recommended for upper-division undergraduates and above. D. L. Stoloff Eastern Connecticut State University
