Universal Design for Learning Toolkit

Explore key ideas, plan inclusive learning, and reflect on your practice at your own pace.

Welcome to the UDL Toolkit

This self-guided collection brings together a curated set of core resources to help you integrate Universal Design for Learning (UDL) into your teaching or facilitation. Whether you're working in early childhood education, K–12 schools, post-secondary education, or community-based learning environments, this guide offers a flexible path through three key steps: Learn, Design, and Assess and Reflect.

We’ve intentionally designed this guide to provide a strong foundation without being overwhelming. It’s not an exhaustive list, many additional UDL resources exist online based on your specific needs, but this collection offers a clear and supportive starting point.

Each step includes a choice board of resources to reflect UDL in action: you can choose the materials, formats, and depth of engagement that work best for your goals and time. This approach not only supports your own learning but models the kind of flexible, student-centred planning that UDL encourages.

Learn

Learn what UDL is and how it supports inclusion in classrooms, field education, and community learning.

Begin Here

Design

Use UDL to create goals, learning materials, and assessments that support all learners.

Begin Here

Assess and Reflect

Reflect on what’s working, identify barriers, and use rubrics and self-assessments to evolve your teaching.

Begin Here

The guide begins by grounding you in the core ideas of UDL, then moves into designing inclusive learning experiences, and finally encourages assessment and reflection on your practice. We hope you find it helpful as you work toward more inclusive and accessible learning environments.
