Abstract
Universal design for learning (UDL) is an educational framework that incorporates accessibility in curricular design and implementation to promote an inclusive student learning environment. Moving away from one-off, individualistic student accommodations, UDL aims to promote a holistic learning model that is student-centred, collaborative, and inclusive of all learners. Despite the inclusive and accessible nature of UDL, this framework has not been readily incorporated into social work education to date. In this chapter, the authors consider how UDL aligns with a strengths perspective in social work education and outline reflections on their experiences adopting UDL in the social work classroom (both on-campus and online, and in graduate and undergraduate courses), including attention to areas of relative ease and difficulty in embedding UDL components. To conclude, the authors discuss future directions for social work educators.
