This book seamlessly integrates insights from established scholars and fresh voices in the UDL field to address the pivotal question: 'What does UDL look like?’ The second edition has a sharp focus on confronting equity and bias, including racial, cultural, and socioeconomic dimensions. An exciting and encouraging leap forward in education!”

“This book holds a special place in my heart—the first edition introduced me to the transformative power of UDL, and I find myself freshly inspired by the second edition. The authors synthesize decades of research through a contemporary lens, diving deep into critical topics like equity and bias, project-based learning, and culturally responsive pedagogy. With its comprehensive approach, this book serves as an invaluable guide for educators navigating the complex landscape of today's classrooms. Whether you're seeking guidance to design a project-based learning unit, exploring the fusion of arts and culturally responsive pedagogy, or simply striving to create an environment that honors and nurtures all learners, this book provides practical applications.”

“The importance of UDL should never be underestimated. The second edition of this book offers a plethora of new insights on ways to use UDL in a variety of traditional and nontraditional education settings. Intersections between UDL and current educational research, policy, and best practices are addressed. The book highlights multiple ways to teach and build expertise in learners, with special attention to social–emotional learning and equitable access. This text is a 'must read' for any educator in these changing times—I look forward to incorporating it into my graduate course on UDL.”
