To close out May, I'm happy to highlight another Best Of episode with three-time guest Katie Novak. This was our first conversation, about her best-selling book UDL Now!

We talked about:

• “If UDL is the answer, what is the question?”
• Who should be doing UDL?
• UDL is best practice: “Teachers are working too hard to not have a greater impact on learners.”
• Understanding the similarities and differences between UDL and differentiated instruction (DI) — and why teachers should be doing both
• The three core beliefs of UDL: variability, firm goals, and expert learning
• What is the right amount of student voice and choice?

Find UDL Now! from CAST Publishing, Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and on Katie’s website: https://www.novakeducation.com/udl-now
