About the Book

Elevating Co-teaching with Universal Design for Learning is the silver winner of the 2024 IBPA Benjamin Franklin Award in Education!

In this revised and expanded edition, Elizabeth Stein delivers a new structure, additional strategies, updated research, and fine-tuned language to show how best to apply the Universal Design for Learning (UDL) principles and guidelines to co-teaching.

Co-teaching—the practice of having special education and regular education teachers work together in inclusive classrooms—is a powerful way to ensure that all students have equal access to academic content. The inclusive framework of UDL offers co-teachers structure and guidance in pursuing their goal to create successful learning environments for all students.

How does UDL inform the lesson-planning process? What does UDL look like in the classroom? How do you get buy-in for the UDL approach from administrators, parents, and students themselves? These and other questions are answered in this must-have book for anyone interested in co-teaching.
