Teacher Leaders for Universal Design for Differentiated Instruction (UDDI) provides educators with the knowledge to:
  • enhance skills in designing rigorous units of study that respect learner differences
  • provide leadership within their schools on the UDDI instructional framework


We employ a four-step design process to remove barriers to learning, gain clarity on student outcomes, collect evidence of student learning, and design activities that offer multiple means of representation, expression, and engagement.Fact Sheets:
