Universally Designed Leadership

The Every Student Succeeds Act governing K-12 education in the United States defines and endorses Universal Design for Learning (UDL) as a framework to help educators provide greater learning opportunities to all students, including those those with disabilities, English learners, and "gifted and talented" students.

In Universally Designed Leadership, veteran school administrators Katie Novak and Kristan Rodriguez provide school leaders and educators with a guidebook for putting the UDL framework into practice. They show how to lead district and school staff in discussions around student data, and use the UDL Guidelines to shape curriculum decisions.

Universally Designed Leadership is a must-read for any education leader who wants to create more equitable, inclusive, and effective learning environments.
