In this episode, Tom and Nat explore the intersection between assessment and Universal Design for Learning (UDL). Specifically, they highlight five important connections:
- UDL means designing assessments from the start with flexibility in mind.
- Assessment must reflect the UDL principles of engagement, representation, and expression.
- Formative assessment is essential—it guides flexible, responsive design.
- Clear learning goals allow you to separate the what from the how.
- Self-assessment and reflection develop agency and expert learners.
