Key Ideas:

The major components necessary to implement UDL at the local level within a district are technology infrastructure, administrative support, teacher training and support, redefined roles for special and regular education teachers, a new curriculum planning model, parent and community involvement, and creative funding.
To be practical on a larger scale, UDL requires systemic changes in the following key arenas: policy, curriculum design, teacher training and preparation, consensus building, and parent involvement.
