THREE GUIDELINES.
There are three big guidelines to Universal Design in education. These guidelines are:
1. Provide Multiple Means of Representation.
2. Provide Multiple Means of Action and Expression.
3. Provide Multiple Means of Engagement.
REPRESENTATION
Every child should be able to perceive the presentation.
Every child should understand how it is presented, for instance the language and symbols used.
Every child should be able to comprehend the information in the presentation.
With this being said, the way at which you present the information should accommodate all students in the classroom.

EXPRESSION
Options provided for physical action.
Options provided for expressive skills and fluency.
Options provided that help with outside functions.
Students may differ greatly on their ability of expression. With these three guidelines, students should be able to have an alternative way of learning that all learners can understand.

ENGAGEMENT
Options that help with recruiting interest.
Options for effort and persistence.
Options for self regulation.
These guidelines help students to learn in their own way because of their interests and this helps to keep the students involved.
