Matt Bergman
Principal Education Consultant

Dr. Matt Bergman is a self-described "UDL evangelist" committed to empowering educators in K-12 and higher education. His mission is to foster inclusive, accessible, and engaging learning environments where all students can thrive. Matt's expertise translates the UDL principles into practical strategies, particularly through lesson design, technology integration, artificial intelligence, and Social Emotional Learning (SEL).

In 2010, fueled by his passion, Matt launched an award-winning blog and YouTube channel called Learn Lead Grow, to disseminate practical strategies and tips for incorporating UDL and technology into teaching practices. 

Beyond his online outreach, Dr. Bergman's professional journey spans across K-12 and higher education. Matt has excelled in roles as a middle and high school teacher, K-12 digital learning coach, adjunct professor, instructional designer, consultant, and professional development leader. His expertise has earned him recognition, including the 2015 PAECT Teacher of the Year and serving as a faculty member at Harvard University's UDL Institute. In addition, Dr. Bergman was awarded a 2024 Elizabethtown College Design Studio Fellowship, where he is studying how to apply the concepts of UDL and artificial intelligence to enhance student learning. 

Dr. Bergman currently serves as the Assessment and Curriculum Coordinator for the School of Graduate and Professional Studies at Elizabethtown College and as Principal Education Consultant at Novak Education.

What They are Saying...

For those looking to implement UDL in a pain free way, Matt provided excellent examples and resources. His use of AI prompt guidance we very valuable. He was able to adjust the workshop in real time to meet the needs of our teachers. I highly recommend Novak Education and Matt Bergman to institutions looking for the easiest way to adapt comprehensive UDL compliant lessons and strategies.
