What is itUniversal Design is an idea or structure that encompasses the needs of everyone around without modifying the original format. Ramps and handicap buttons on doors are a great design, but the majority of them were added on later. Universally Designed Learning (UDL) works in a similar way. In main purpose to is get every child whatever they need to have the best learning experience possible.

2 overall emerging goals

1.) It’s universal2.) Everybody learns

Like a universal remote control!!

Three Main Principles

How does the learner pick up the information? Is there a certain way they learn best or are we just teaching to the test?

How do they show that they have or have not understood and can practice the information?

UDL cont.

Do they feel engaged? Are your students seeming bored in the classroom or with a certain topic? Maybe you should find a better way to present it that suits their needs.

These are some ways you can provide multiple representations for your students:

• Provide multiple experiences of actions and expressions

• Provide many types of ways the students can get engaged

• Get creative with your ideas, children understand creativity.

Our min priority~

We want our students to be driven for knowledge! If your student doesn’t want to learn something, try something new. If they don’t like history, but love literature, find the relation.
