Principles of UDL

          

3 Principles of UDL

Multiple Means of Representation

Multiple Means of Action and Expression

Multiple Means of Engagement

The "what" of learning The "how" of learning The "why" of learning

Present information and content in different ways

Differentiate the ways that students can express what they know

Stimulate interest and motivation for learning
