While the topic of UDL in school settings is becoming popular and is included in the evidence-based practices listed in the Every Student Succeeds Act, there are a limited number of publications regarding how this framework can be used in the early childhood classroom. Creating Young Expert Learners is an accessible and engaging guide for early childhood educators with instruction on how to use UDL in the early childhood classroom in easy-to-understand language, free from unnecessary jargon.
