Universal Design for Learning

The Universal Design for Learning

is a set of ideas and principles for curriculum and pedagogy that emphasizes the goal of giving all individuals (our students) equal opportunities to learn. These ideas are presented with rules and blueprints for educators to use to create instructional goals, methods, materials, and assessments that work for everyone with flexible approaches that can be customized and adjusted for individual needs. This is basically a designed “program” that does what we have been learning all semester in EDC 313; It differentiates Learning. These resources explain just why UDL is necessary and brings in Neuroscience and brain networking to help reveal just how unique every individual is when it comes to learning. We can use this in the classroom to help differentiate learning in a very laid out format.
