Abstract
Universal Design Learning (UDL) is about designing for the minority in the learning environment to meet the needs of all. This publication explains the principles of Universal Design Learning—engagement, representation, and action and expression—and how to incorporate them into lesson plans. As practitioners, 4-H Extension agents and other professionals who educate youth can support learners by incorporating these UDL principles.
