"curriculum and instruction that include alternatives to make learning accessible and appropriate for individuals with different backgrounds, learning preferences, abilities, and disabilities in widely varied learning context."

In the past classroom were generalized and teachers taught to a classroom as a whole rather that considering each student specifically. Now it is seen that students all have very different ways of learning and there are ways to embrace those differences.

Cast is an organization that looks to create curriculum that fits the Universal Design for Learning and brings attention to why it is needed. They provide information to Educators, Business owners, and parents. Their website provides many opportunities and ideas to implement UDL.

Here is an example of how one school is making changes, using UDL. They made their classroom a place that everyone can learn in

enough physical space to fit everyone.
Ex: larger bathroom stalls.

Information can be understood universally
Ex: pictures on signs

Extensive research was put in to developing the UDL methods of learning. The researcher looked at brain Development and different ways that people learn.They looked the different networks of the brain. They found that the are 3 different networks that all play different roles in how to learn and analyze information.
The 3 networks are: Recognition (what), Strategic (how), Effective (why). There were also many other theories that have effected the Universal design of learning outcomes

Understandable without using outside knowledge.
Ex: simple directional signs

Things can be used and are available to use for people with different needs.
Ex: buttons to open doors

CAST directly effects the learning community by implementing UDL. They are currently working on a project to develop math games to help those who may have a hard time learning math in the typical classroom. They see the importance of having math skills and they help students get into to college and have the same opportunities as other kids. The math games they developed can be played on iPads and they work to develop many skills even outside of math.

Makes transitions easy for everyone and mobile not a task
Ex: elevators

UDL changes the way things are taught or implemented to include more students. There are many ways this could be done. For example, a teacher may use an alternative online dictionary. This provides a way for students who learn and respond better to pictures to get the same learning opportunities as the other children who work well with a written dictionary. (as seen in video).
