"""This book holds a special place in my heart--the first edition introduced me to the transformative power of UDL, and I find myself freshly inspired by the second edition. The authors synthesize decades of research through a contemporary lens, diving deep into critical topics like equity and bias, project-based learning, and culturally responsive pedagogy. With its comprehensive approach, this book serves as an invaluable guide for educators navigating the complex landscape of today's classrooms. Whether you're seeking guidance to design a project-based learning unit, exploring the fusion of arts and culturally responsive pedagogy, or simply striving to create an environment that honors and nurtures all learners, this book provides practical applications.""--Katie Novak, EdD, founder and executive director, Novak Educational Consulting ""A 'must read' that empowers educators to create dynamic, accessible, and equitable learning environments for all. This book seamlessly integrates insights from established scholars and fresh voices in the UDL field to address the pivotal question: 'What does UDL look like?’ The second edition has a sharp focus on confronting equity and bias, including racial, cultural, and socioeconomic dimensions. An exciting and encouraging leap forward in education!""--Kimberly Coy, PhD, Kremen School of Education and Human Development, California State University, Fresno-"
