THE INTEGRATION OF UDL IN TEACHER TRAINING: A PATHWAY TOWARDS INCLUSIVE ASSESSMENT

In this context, assessment must be rethought in a formative perspective, promoting reflection, growth, and inclusion. This study analyses how UDL-based teacher training can foster inclusive assessment practices, adaptable to the needs of all students.
