Universal Design for Learning and the Teaching of Social Studies

In the field of education, things are always changing. New research reveals more strategies for teaching, and successful teachers need to be up-to-date on these strategies. One such strategy that is emerging is Universal Design for Learning (UDL). This research study was conducted at Bowling Green State University by an education major. Undergraduate education majors in an introductory level course, upon learning about UDL, were asked to evaluate a published lesson plan based on its adherence to UDL principles, as described by the rubric provided to them.
