You can't build a culture of accessibility through compliance alone.

DCU started with Universal Design for Learning, helping lecturers see accessibility as part of good teaching rather than a box-ticking exercise.

#Accessibility #UDL
Quote from Rob Lowney, Dublin City University: “Inclusion is one of our key core values. Reducing barriers and opening up opportunities for learners is central to everything we do.”

What drives your lesson design: the content you need to cover or the learners who need to access it? UDL invites us to plan for both, starting with barriers.

#UDL #Teachers
Comparison table titled "UDL Leans on Design Thinking" contrasting educator-centered (educator holds knowledge; content coverage; one right answer; mistakes penalized; individual work; grades as endpoint) with design-thinking (educator as facilitator; empathy; many solutions; failure as feedback; Row 2 has a blue border around it to emphasize what we are focusing on in this post.

Strategic, meaningful, and resilient learning: three patterns from our Circle Up team, each tied to a different kind of engagement (cognitive, affective, and behavioral).

If you use UDL, these will feel familiar. They all build #learnerAgency.

https://pulse.ly/9yjkb86rdg
Diagram titled "Strategic Learning" showing a four-step cyclical process. The steps are: 1. **goal understanding** (represented by a green gear) points to: 2. **goal planning (strategies)** (represented by a green gear) which has a large block arrow pointing to: 3. **cognitive engagement** (represented by a white cloud shape) which points to: 4. **outcome interpretation** (represented by a green gear). A long return arrow loops from "outcome interpretation" back to "goal understanding" at the start, forming a continuous learning cycle. At the bottom left is the CAST logo. At the bottom right, text reads: "Figure adapted from Gropen, Bevan & Wilmot (2025), Social and Emotional Learning: Research, Practice, and Policy." A diagram titled "Meaningful Learning" displays a feedback loop of three light-green gears labeled "relevance," "interest," and "goal ownership" on the left. Curved gray arrows connect the gears in a clockwise cycle: from relevance to interest, interest to goal ownership, and goal ownership back to relevance. To the right, a thick, gray right-pointing arrow indicates a transition toward a cloud shape labeled "Affective Engagement." A thin, curved gray arrow also connects the top of the "Affective Engagement" cloud back to the "interest" gear at the top of the cycle. The diagram is enclosed in a white, rounded box set against a background split horizontally into dark purple at the top and light green at the bottom. The CAST logo is in the bottom-left corner, and a citation in the bottom-right reads, "Figure adapted from Gropen, Bevan & Wilmot (2025), Social and Emotional Learning: Research, Practice, and Policy." An educational diagram titled "Resilient Learning." On a dark purple and light green background, a central white panel shows a flow chart of interconnected green gears and a cloud shape The CAST logo is in the bottom left corner, with a citation on the bottom right: "Figure adapted from Gropen, Bevan & Wilmot (2025), Social and Emotional Learning: Research, Practice, and Policy."

Two full days of sessions and conversations at #MassCUE, and we’re leaving with new connections and plenty of ideas for what comes next.

Thank you to our presenters, partners, the educators who stopped by our table, and MassCUE for a wonderful partnership.
An image of three women smiling and standing next to a vertical sign on an easel in an indoor room with a view of a sports stadium. The sign has the MassCUE logo and “CAST UDL CON” printed on it. The woman on the left is wearing white pants and a black and white patterned shirt. The middle woman is wearing a knee-length dark blue dress and brown boots. The woman on the right is wearing a colorful floral pattern dress. Two smiling women stand on either side of a large poster on an easel in a conference hallway. The woman on the left, with short dark hair, wearing a gray plaid blazer, dark trousers, and a blue lanyard with badges, gestures with an open hand toward the poster. The woman on the right, with blonde hair, wearing a black blazer over a red top, dark trousers, and a nametag, rests one hand on the side of the poster. The poster is white with logos. At the top, it reads "MassCUE" with the tagline "Educate, Connect, Inspire." Below, it features the "CAST" logo with a blue circular icon next to the word, and "UDL-CON" underneath in large text. An eye-level shot captures two smiling women sitting behind a black table with a "CAST Until learning has no limits" tablecloth inside a conference room with rows of people sitting at tables in the background. The woman on the left has blond hair that brushes her shoulders, and she wears a black patterned blouse. She smiles with teeth as she faces forward. The woman on the right has her hair pulled back and wears a light grey long-sleeved shirt with a purple CAST lanyard around her neck. She smiles with teeth as she faces forward. On the table in front of them are several flyers, books, and business card holders. The sign on the left reads "UDL Coaching Academy" and has a QR code in the bottom right corner. The sign on the right reads "Massachusetts UDL Pathways" and has a QR code. In the background, several rows of people sit in black chairs facing forward. A woman in a floral dress stands at the back of the room next to a podium and a screen that says "Today's Goals" with a blue bullseye graphic on the right side. A large digital billboard inside Gillette Stadium displays an advertisement for the "MassCUE Fall Conference" scheduled for Oct. 14-15, 2026. The screen has a pale lavender background. On the left side, a stylized cartoon illustration features a flying superhero character leaving a trail in a speech-bubble shape with the text "MassCUE Forward and Beyond, Fall Conference 2026." Directly above the screen, the large blue and white "Gillette STADIUM" sign is visible, below which hang six vertical banners celebrating the New England Patriots' World Championships from the years 2001, 2003, 2004, 2014, 2016, and 2018.

Share one UDL-aligned idea!

In your context, how do you consistently design for:

A. Access,
B. Engagement,
C. Meaningful choice, OR
D. Showing what you know

Choice doesn't automatically create agency.

Learners can choose A, B, or C and still have little ownership of their learning.

Choice is a tool. Agency is the bigger goal.

What distinction would you add?
