Art for All: Planning for Variability in the Visual Arts Classroom

In this one-of-a-kind book, artist and teacher Liz Byron demonstrates how to design lessons and instruction in the visual arts using the inclusive principles of Universal Design for Learning (UDL). Art for All: Planning for Variability in the Visual Arts Classroom offers teachers classroom-ready advice on how to transform their practice in sustainable ways with UDL. Readers learn to set meaningful goals, measure progress, customize instruction, and engage all learners across grades. They also discover ways to help all students appreciate and embrace themselves as artists. “Liz Byron’s reflections on the use of UDL along with her keen observation of how students learn provide useful insights into the process of designing rich, engaging arts-learning experiences for diverse learners!” –DON GLASS, The Kennedy Center, Washington, DC “Liz is at her best when she shares, often with humor, her own misgivings and classroom trials and errors. This highly readable, useful book is filled with lots of takeaways and good advice for teachers about how to implement UDL practices.” — LINDA F. NATHAN, Executive Director of the Center for Artistry and Scholarship, and faculty member, Harvard Graduate School of Education
