What is it?
A set of principles for curriculum development that give all students equal opportunities to learn.

Inspiration for UDL
The inspiration for UDL was motivated by IDEA mandating that all students be taught and make progress within the general education curriculum. Overall, UDL was inspired by the need to address the needs of a diverse group of learners who may have disabilities that limit their abilities to learn, such as English language barriers, behavioral and emotional problems, lack of interest in education and sensory, physical, or learning disabilities.

UDL’s Three Principles
Provide Multiple Means of Representation
Provide Multiple Means of Action/Expression
Provide Multiple Means of Engagement
![Page 6: Universal Design for Learning](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070318/55749190d8b42a7f348b50ed/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Multiple Means of Representation
Teachers must present information in varied ways.
Examples: ActivBoards, digital stories, audio-visual devices, iPads, Mimio, and web.

Provide Multiple Means of
Active/Expression
Teachers must give students alternatives as a means of expressing comprehension.
Examples: assistive technology, options for expressing skills and fluency, and options that support goal-setting, planning, and self-monitoring.

Provide Multiple Means of Engagement
Teachers must maintain student interest and motivation.
Examples: student response systems, laptops, iPads, and digital images.

Three Networks of UDL
Recognition
Strategic
Affective
![Page 10: Universal Design for Learning](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070318/55749190d8b42a7f348b50ed/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Recognition Networks
The “what” of learning
Responsible for processing patterns
![Page 11: Universal Design for Learning](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070318/55749190d8b42a7f348b50ed/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Strategic Networks
The “how” of learning
Responsible for processing actions
![Page 12: Universal Design for Learning](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070318/55749190d8b42a7f348b50ed/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Affective Networks
The “why” of learning
Responsible for processing emotions
![Page 13: Universal Design for Learning](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070318/55749190d8b42a7f348b50ed/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Role of Technology in UDL
Provides access to learning environments, materials and experiences. Digital tools offer flexibility to display content differently and marking content.
Examples:
Assistive Technology
UDL
Tools to Assist Learners
Barrier Free Learning Environment

Impact of UDL
Provides alternatives so that every student can learn
Builds flexibility into the curricular materials so that all students can be successful
Flexibility of technologies supports needs of diverse learners
Increases technological awareness

Brain Research on Learning
Based on findings of how the brain processes information, it has a way of distributing the processes to different places based on the task and level of learner. Therefore, it is essential that curriculum, instruction, and assessment is differentiated to activate all three learning networks.

How does UDL support cultural, ethnic, linguistic, and academic diversity?
UDL supports all types of diversity including academic, cultural, and ethnic to help promote success, so students with varied cultural, socioeconomic, and educational backgrounds will see and be successful.
UDL also reduces the learners barriers in the classroom, engages all types of learners, while still challenging students.
UDL provides diversity and flexibility especially when incorporating technology which implements tools that are as flexible and diverse as the students.
Students will recognize their preferred method of learning and retaining information.
