In this fast-paced, engaging new title in the UDL Now! series, Katie Novak and Ashley Marlow apply their expertise in Universal Design for Learning (UDL) and equitable, inclusive instruction to the elementary math curriculum, answering questions from educators such as:

• What can I do to improve the math learning experience for my students and for myself?
• How do I create a math learning environment that sends the message that we are all capable mathematicians?
• What support and additional professional learning would I benefit from to make this happen?

The authors build on the critical work of the Algebra Project and the research-based principles of UDL to show that we can-and must-offer rigorous mathematics learning to all K-5 learners. They deserve no less, and with creative, universally designed instruction, we can deliver on that fundamental civil right.

Topics include: Cultivating early numeracy skills, growing positive mathematical mindsets, unlocking access to additive reasoning, deepening multiplication and division understanding, and inviting learners into the world of fractions.

In UDL Playbook for School and District Leaders, the authors lay out a step-by-step process to remake your leadership skills and methods through the inclusive principles of Universal Design for Learning (UDL). Creating multitiered systems of support, delivering effective and inspiring feedback, embedding the UDL principles throughout your culture and curriculum-these are just some of the topics covered by two veteran school leaders.

Anne Meyer and David Rose, who first laid out the principles of UDL, provide an ambitious, engaging discussion of new research and best practices. This book gives the UDL field an essential and authoritative learning resource for the coming years.

In the 1990s, Anne Meyer, David Rose, and their colleagues at CAST introduced Universal Design for Learning (UDL) as a framework to improve teaching and learning in the digital age, sparking an international reform movement. Now Meyer and Rose return with Universal Design for Learning: Theory and Practice, an up-to-date multimedia book that leverages more than a decade of research and implementation.

This is the first significant new statement on UDL since 2002, an ambitious, engaging exploration of ideas and best practices that provides the growing UDL field with an essential and authoritative learning resource for the coming years. This new work includes contributions from CAST's research and implementation teams as well as from many of CAST's collaborators in schools, universities, and research settings. Readers are invited to contribute ideas, perspectives, and examples from their own practice in an online community of practice.

Universal Design for Learning: Theory and Practice includes:

• New insights from research on learner differences and how human variability plays out in learning environments
• Research-based discussions of what it means to become an expert at learning
• First-hand examples of how to design and implement UDL at all levels and across subjects using the UDL Guidelines
• Dig Deeper segments that enrich the main content
• Dozens of original videos and illustrations
• A blended multimedia presentation with interactive activities and tools to save and share notes
• Opportunities to connect with other educators to share ideas and best practices

Patti Kelly Ralabate and Loui Lord Nelson-both influential early adopters of Universal Design for Learning (UDL)-braid two hot frameworks, Culturally Responsive Teaching (CRT) and UDL, to help teachers address the needs of English Learners in today's classrooms.

With cultural and linguistic diversity in the classroom on the rise, educators are challenged to address the needs of English Learners without diluting the focus of their educational goals and curriculum, and potentially sacrificing the progress of other students, write Ralabate and Nelson.

Culturally Responsive Design for English Learners uses UDL, which addresses the innate brain-based differences of learners, and CRT, a pedagogy that responds to learners' cultural differences, to design culturally responsive instruction that's inclusive of all learners. These frameworks are also brought together to specifically address the learning needs faced by English Learners (ELs).

In this essential new resource, the authors provide scenarios, reflection questions, and classroom-based exercises to support responsive instruction. Learn to design and craft goals, methods, materials, and assessments that help ELs optimize their educational experience.

UDL in the Cloud helps educators design and deliver more accessible, engaging, and effective online learning experiences.

Drawing on years of experience in K-12 and postsecondary settings, authors Katie Novak and Tom Thibodeau offer a highly practical approach to developing e-courses, virtual snow days, flipped classes, and blended learning experiences that meet the needs of diverse learners.

Following the principles and guidelines of Universal Design for Learning (UDL), readers learn to identify potential barriers to learning, cultivate an engaging instructor presence in a virtual environment, develop a detailed syllabus that inspires and motivates students, help scaffold students' time management skills, and much more.

This is the first book to consider scaled-up implementation of Universal Design for Learning in schools, districts, and even states. In this collections of case stories, veteran educators and administrators share their stories, tips, and lessons learned from implementing UDL in a variety of settings. Elizabeth Berquist, a leading voice in the burgeoning UDL field, edits and contributes to the collection. In addition to specific strategies for scaling up UDL, the book provides ideas for improving teacher professional development and classroom practice.

La autora de bestsellers Katie Novak regresa con un atractivo manual de Diseño Universal para el Aprendizaje (DUA, o Universal Design for Learning) para padres, que muestra cómo apoyar y defender oportunidades de aprendizaje que aprovechen las fortalezas e intereses de sus hijos.

Déjalos Crecer le presentará las estrategias más efectivas para apoyar a sus hijos, basadas en investigaciones y mejores prácticas en ciencias del aprendizaje. Por qué es importante? Porque, como escribe Katie en su introducción, es porque, como padres, podemos usar toda la ayuda que podamos obtener. La crianza de los hijos es un trabajo agotador y, a veces, ingrato, pero también es el trabajo más gratificante del mundo cuando hacemos las cosas bien. Aunque nuestros hijos son muy diferentes unos de otros, todos trabajamos hacia el mismo objetivo: niños que crecen para ser adultos felices y exitosos.
