What is Universal Design

Universal Design is a starting point for educators to teach and engage students with learning from many cultures of learning styles.

A goal and process to be applied to the design of any product or environment.

3 Principles of Universal Design Principle 1: How does

the learner pick up on the information?

Principle 2: How do learners express and act on that information?

Principle 3: How are learners engaged by the learning situation?

Principle 1: Provide Multiple Means of Representation

Provide Options for Perception. Make sure every child can preserve it. Provide options for language and symbols. Make sure information is comprehendible.

Use hand on experiences or manipulatives for learning styles.

Principle 2:Provide multiple Means of Action and Expression

Provide options for physical action. Provide options for expressive skills and fluency as well as options for executive functions.

Allow students to show off what they know skillfully in writing and through pictures.

Allow goals to be made and met, as well as monitoring own progress through out the class room.

Principle 3:Multiple Means of Engagement

Provide options for interest in all kinds of learners. Not everything interests all students, must try new ideas. Try to provide options for effort and persistence. Finally let learners be self regulated.

with picture drawings to express assignments. Allow students to learn in their time frame not

teachers. Evaluate students independently. Establish lesson plans for every learning
