3.8.6 UDL for Gifted and 2e Learners: Integrating Special Education and Gifted Education Strategies

The goal of Universal Design for Learning (UDL) is to “make learning accessible for all students” (Novak, 2019) by removing barriers through proactive curriculum design. UDL emphasizes that all children should be learning and moving forward. While UDL is often discussed as a concept for students with disabilities, advanced, gifted, and twice-exceptional (2e) children’s needs often go unmet. This session will provide a set of instructional decisions that lead to strategies and ideas that can allow a teacher to build in enriching, accelerated concepts while providing the task-analysis and structured learning experiences that are needed.
