Universal Design for Learning
The public classroom is a classroom filled with a wide variety of learners.› Kinesthetic › Auditory › Visual
Universal Design for Learning (UDL) creates an learning environment that can reach all learners.
Kinesthetic
Principles of UDL Principle 1
› To support recognition learning Provide multiple, flexible methods of presentation.
Principle 2› To support strategic learning
Provide multiple, flexible methods of expression and apprenticeship.
Principle 3› To support affective learning
Provide multiple, flexible options for engagement.
UDL Provides Access for ALL
1st Principle of UDL › To support recognition learning
Provide multiple, flexible methods of presentation. There are many ways to present curriculum content to students
› Graphic Novels.› Audio Textbooks› Interactive textbook websites› Read Alouds › Content Presentations› Analogies › Textbook Readings
Graphic Organizer, guided readings. The Key is to allow students equal access to the method that
best fits their learning styles and needs.› Teachers, students and parents can work together to best establish
the challenging yet effective method of instruction for a student.
2nd Principle of UDL› To support strategic learning
Provide multiple, flexible methods of expression and apprenticeship.
Students need to be able to express content knowledge and understanding in a variety of ways.› All students need to write.
Not all students can express their content knowledge in writing. These students could
Interview Create a podcast Digital Storytelling
› Multiple methods of expression Does not have to replace writing Does allow a student to be assessed using the method right for
them.
Graphic Novels
Audio Textbook
3rd Principle of UDL› To support affective learning
Provide multiple, flexible options for engagement. To allow students access to challenging, exploratory
options that can support their learning› Cooperative learning
Wikis Classroom to Classroom discussion Blogs
› Documentaries› Web quests› Presentations
Podcasts Narratives
Class discussions
Wiki window to so much more
Structure Teachers and students set goals that
need to met› Content objectives› Literacy objectives› Technology objectives› Interdisciplinary objectives› Student objectives
Objectives and goals are structured routines needed to move students forward and measure successes.
How? Students have OPTIONS
› How to learn? Recording Website Small Group Lecture Textbook
› Practice Wikis Graphic organizer PowerPoint
› Assessment Writing Product Oral
Classes ending in standard tests can still use standard exams › the weight of exams would be less than the assessment right for that
student.
UDL Technology can provide the best
methods to implement UDL.› Translators, Hearing aids, Braille readers.› Audio text, manipulative, videos.› Websites, wikis, podcasts.
Building Affect All students will be supported Self-Directed learners Students will have greater ownership in
their learning
Brain Research Three learning types
› Kinesthetic › Auditory › Visual
The brain makes connections using all of these types› Student learn best when learning takes
place across all three of these learning types.
UDL Students Besides learning styles teachers also
have students of different backgrounds.
UDL supports all Students by› Providing equal access
Translations, leveled readings, languages › Including personal testing of students
Allows teachers to know their learners› Bringing the learning to the students no
matter were that might be.
