Advocacy

Call for change

Hands raised in the air Public education "is a right which must be made available to all on equal terms."
U.S. Supreme Court, Brown v. Board of Education

Across North America, individuals and organizations are working together to improve teaching and learning for all through UDL. The National Center supports these efforts by providing advocates with tools and resources that help them:

  • Call attention to the need for UDL implementation in policy and practice
  • Learn the strategies and practices that enable all students to achieve at high levels
  • Connect with others who support effective educational reform for all
