Best of The Authority: UDL Now! with Katie Novak

To close out May, I'm happy to highlight another Best Of episode with three-time guest Katie Novak. This was our first conversation, about her best-selling book UDL Now!

We talked about:

• “If UDL is the answer, what is the question?”
• Who should be doing UDL?
• UDL is best practice: “Teachers are working too hard to not have a greater impact on learners.”
• Understanding the similarities and differences between UDL and differentiated instruction (DI) — and why teachers should be doing both
• The three core beliefs of UDL: variability, firm goals, and expert learning
• What is the right amount of student voice and choice?
