About the Book
In Your UDL Journey: A Systems Approach to Transforming Instruction, Patti Kelly Ralabate and Elizabeth Berquist draw on years of working with schools, districts, universities, and states to put the inclusive principles of Universal Design for Learning (UDL) into practice.
The authors provide a guide—not a rigid step-by-step manual—for adopting UDL as the conceptual framework for an entire system, not just individual classrooms. They clarify the difference between mere change and true transformation in a system, offering a welcome solution to the common “flavor-of-the-month” dilemma that school leaders at all levels so often face.
Your UDL Journey addresses challenges in learning design, instructional planning, professional development, resource allocation, and reflection. Written in a warm, collegial style, this book is filled with helpful signposts along the road to transformation.
Your UDL Journey: A Systems Approach to Transforming Instruction is available in both paperback ($40.00, 218 pages, ISBN: 9781930583283) and EPUB ($40.00, ISBN: 9781930583306) format.
