Freedom of Choice
American Public Education
has a challenge…
we must educate
students, all of them
Traditionally, we’ve done this by
trying to…
teach everyone
the same way
Some of these we’ve supplemented with technology
What if we were all made to read the same book, use the same phone, watch the same movie, drive
the same car, and work in the same job?
Everyone would
be miserable
Everyone is
different.
How do we reach
everyone?
Enter Universal Design for Learning (UDL)
UDL has three pillars
1. Multiple Means of Engagement
UDL has three pillars
2. Multiple Means of Representation
3. Multiple Means of Action and Expression
But every solution…
Brings new challenges
UDL is widely known as a special education initiative.

Perception is… UDL is too complicated and time consuming to implement
How do we get the message across to all educators?
The same way brands do… with a slogan
Just Do It
I’m Lovin’ It
Finger Lickin’
Good
The Best A Man Can Get
Think Different
If we could boil UDL into a short,
easy to remember
phrase, what would it be?
When an educator goes to plan a lesson, what should they keep in mind?
Provide Options
Provide Options
Provide Options
Provide Options
Provide Options
Provide Options
This is what we chant from the rooftops, it’s what every educator
needs to hear and feel.
As you travel back to schools and you share what you’ve learned,
I hope it’s this… when designing & implementing lessons,
provide options.
Give students the freedom to make choices about how best
they’d like to learn.
