Abstract
The purpose of this chapter is to provide a summary of research and recommendations for implementing Universal Design for Learning (UDL) in the elementary school setting through a review of the literature (2016 – 2021), one teacher's account of UDL implementation with elementary school-aged students (K-5) in a fully inclusive public education system in New Brunswick, Canada, and the findings of action research undertaken through a partnership between the New Brunswick Department of Education & Early Childhood Development (EECD) and University of New Brunswick (2013 – 2015). The goal of the action research was to determine what tools will help facilitate the implementation of UDL in elementary school classrooms to improve student engagement. Implementing UDL in the elementary school setting results in observable gains in inclusion, student engagement, and academic achievement. Teachers can take a personalized and incremental approach to UDL implementation guided by CAST's UDL Guidelines.
