The Three-Block Model of Universal Design for Learning

The Three-Block Model of Universal Design for Learning was created by Dr. Jennifer Katz and is based on her work as a classroom teacher in Richmond, BC. It is a practical framework for including all students socially and academically in the life of the classroom.

The model consists of three components:

• Block One: Social and Emotional Learning
  
• Block Two: Inclusive Instructional Practice
  
• Block Three: Systems and Structures
