Oof. Terribly written with poor examples of UDL in action. I slogged my way through this one, hoping it would improve beyond the recurrent proclamation to use UDL in educational settings. Saying "UDL works!" over and over with limited evidence or actionable examples doesn't guide teachers and administrators in how to actually foster meaningful change in curricular planning and assessment. The latter half of the book presents vignettes of UDL in schools, but each snapshot felt thin and not-at-all compelling. As an instructional designer and educator, I expected more from CAST. The guidelines provide a useful framework that inventive teachers can take and run with; this book, not so much.
