Universal Design for Learning does this through three principals. The first principal is multiple means of representation followed by multiple means of expression and lastly, multiple options of engagement. By utilizing these three principals’ teachers design different lessons and curriculum, they use a range of different methods, materials and assessment and as a result are making appropriate efforts to educate and meet the individual needs of all learners. Universal Design for Learning is therefore a blueprint not an intervention. Universal Design for learning can benefit all students not just those outside of the ‘norm.’ In conclusion, Universal Design for Learning strives to fix curriculum, break down barriers and realizes the goals from the means for each student as an individual.]]> 2018-10-12 16:10:06 UTC https://padlet.com/mpsztukowski1s/fgy83epf03kf/wish/292243185 Universal Design for Learning: Additional Resource mpsztukowski1s https://padlet.com/mpsztukowski1s/fgy83epf03kf/wish/292243646 2018-10-12 16:11:00 UTC https://padlet.com/mpsztukowski1s/fgy83epf03kf/wish/292243646 Universal Design for Learning: Additional Resource mpsztukowski1s https://padlet.com/mpsztukowski1s/fgy83epf03kf/wish/292245406 2018-10-12 16:14:43 UTC https://padlet.com/mpsztukowski1s/fgy83epf03kf/wish/292245406 Universal Design for Learning: Quote mpsztukowski1s https://padlet.com/mpsztukowski1s/fgy83epf03kf/wish/292245986 2018-10-12 16:15:56 UTC https://padlet.com/mpsztukowski1s/fgy83epf03kf/wish/292245986 Socrative Teacher mpsztukowski1s https://padlet.com/mpsztukowski1s/fgy83epf03kf/wish/292246855
