This session features Drs. David Rose and Todd Rose discussing how UDL addresses systematic learner variability. It also includes real examples of how two educators apply the principles of UDL to meet varied learner needs.

Learning Goal: Participants will be able to explain how the Universal Design for Learning (UDL) framework helps educators address systematic learner variability.

Essential Questions: 

• Why are curricula limited if they are designed for the 'average' learner?
  
• What makes learner variability systematic? 
  
• Why is it important for educators to know about systematic learner variability?
