When we say Universal Design for Learning ... What do you know? by Lauren Kountz https://padlet.com/lauren_kountz/f03dzalx6cw9 Made with whimsy en-us 2016-09-20 22:00:30 UTC 2025-12-04 15:37:07 UTC hello@padlet.com As a special education teacher I feel that universal design for learning is something that I do on a constant basis, but am not really aware that that is what I am doing. I will adapt lessons and ways of presenting information that can often benefit other students, besides the ones I work with.  https://padlet.com/lauren_kountz/f03dzalx6cw9/wish/126520797 Lauren M.]]> 2016-09-26 21:40:55 UTC https://padlet.com/lauren_kountz/f03dzalx6cw9/wish/126520797 melissa_monn https://padlet.com/lauren_kountz/f03dzalx6cw9/wish/126529141 I am just familiar with the fact that learning should be accessible to all students no matter their learning style or learning needs.  It should be flexible to their needs.

It is critical to for my sanity to keep lessons & rubrics consistent.  My primary course leads up to a high-stakes state test and there is no modification of the test itself for any students, even those with IEPs.  Therefore, it is critical that I create multiple means for students with different abilities to access and develop content knowledge meaningfully. nicklasjoey https://padlet.com/lauren_kountz/f03dzalx6cw9/wish/126529944 2016-09-26 23:53:28 UTC https://padlet.com/lauren_kountz/f03dzalx6cw9/wish/126529944 Universal Design for learning means having a variety of "learning avenues" for students that will get them to the same end. It's important to remember that students learn in different ways -ex. visual, kinesthetic, auditory, etc. When I hear "UDL" I immediately think of assistive & adaptive technology. andreanoelsommers https://padlet.com/lauren_kountz/f03dzalx6cw9/wish/126548025 2016-09-27 03:01:41 UTC https://padlet.com/lauren_kountz/f03dzalx6cw9/wish/126548025 I only know that UDL is giving options so that everyone can learn in their own way and all reach the same goal. Teachers need to be flexible and allow students to learn in a way the teacher might not be used to. https://padlet.com/lauren_kountz/f03dzalx6cw9/wish/127121782

It provides educational opportunity for all students with multiple methods.

It's a way for teachers to ensure success with their students by adapting lessons and using student's strengths to achieve.
