My guest this week is Dr Frederic Fovet who is Associate Professor at Royal Roads University, British Columbia, Canada. Frederic has a background in law, has worked as a teacher, school principal and is now an internationally recognised expert on Universal Design for Learning or UDL.
Frederic chats with me about his work and in our discussion gives a great insight into firstly what UDL is and how it can impact on all students in the classroom, he describes his current research on the barriers to implementing UDL in schools and we discuss the place of UDL within broader discussions around inclusive and special education.
