Abstract [en]

This book chapter argues that Universal Design for Learning (UDL), developed by the Center for Applied Special Technologies, is a possible avenue to create practical and theoretical teaching and learning methodologies within Human Rights Education. Not only is it based on values inherent in the right to education and in a rights-based approach to education, but it is also recommended by the United Nations Committee on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities for educational institutions to fulfill, promote, and protect the right to education for persons with disabilities. Research shows that UDL benefits all learners, not only those with accessibility needs, through its whole-person perspective and focus on the educator’s responsibilities and students as partners. Thus, UDL provides a practical, and recommended, nexus between human rights law and education. Three core principles are identified in this nexus, ‘learner-centered education’, ‘learners as partners in education’, and ‘rights-based education’ and suggested as a supportive pedagogical structure for human rights education.
