Universal Design for Learning (UDL) can be used to design high quality experiences for all learners in a wide range of environments, including Career and Technical Education (CTE). In this hour-long webinar from the Center for Applied Special Technology (CAST), three experienced CTE educators and UDL practitioners outline ways in which UDL principles can be used to ensure that a variety of CTE environments are accessible for all learners. This is a helpful resource for all CTE administrators in designing high-quality classroom and work-place experiences.
