New Toolkit on Teaching and Assessing Students with Disabilities
The US Department of Education, Office of Special Education Programs (OSEP) is pleased to announce a new addition to the OSEP Toolkit on Teaching and Assessing Students With Disabilities. The Toolkit addendum focuses on universal design for learning (UDL). UDL is a framework for designing educational environments that help students engage in learning to increase knowledge and skills.
The Toolkit includes information and resources to support the implementation of UDL and is useful for policymakers, education personnel, and parents to implement UDL strategies and practices.
While the focus of the Toolkit is mainly on K-12 educational settings, there are many helpful materials and information for the adult educator such as the information on UDL, Adolescent Literacy, and the information on Assistive Technology found in the Parent materials.
This new addition is available at http://www.osepideasthatwork.org and CDs will be available shortly through ED Pubs http://edpubs.ed.gov/.
