One thing I have come to realise is that UDL instruction is about instructional routines. Quality, efficient and reliable instruction routines become the foundation to any lesson that implements UDL principles and check points.

How UDL Can Transform Your Lesson Planning
Universal Design for Learning (UDL) is a framework developed by CAST that acknowledges that no two learners are the same. There is learner variability in every learner and context. The framework is used to design learning experiences that are proactive in planning for learner variability from the start. This way all learners are considered in the one lesson not added on or considered after the main lesson is planned.
Making Learning Relevant with UDL: How to Find the Relevance in Lesson Goals in 3 Easy Steps
Once we have identified the goal of the lesson, derived from the standards, we need to identify how the goal is relevant to our learners. Relevance is identified in the UDL Guidelines under the Engagement Principle. Identifying the relevance of learning improves a learner's intrinsic motivation to learn the content (CAST, 2023). When learners understand how the goal of the lesson is relevant to their lives or goals, they are more likely to be engaged in that learning.
