Three Principles of UDL
My belief is that teachers should already be designing their lessons in a way that promotes UDL principles. With learning about the UDL design you can instruct your students using best practices. Universal Design for Learning provides multiples means of engagement, representation, and action and expression. These three principles provide many options for learners to comprehend information being presented to them. Engagement, representation, and action and expression have a lot of instructional value. They allow the students many opportunities to revisit the same information in an abundance of ways. Using UDL, a diverse group of learners would benefit from instruction, and as teachers our goal is to reach as many students as possible with our instructional methods. I find these three principles very useful when designing my lesson plans.

Lauren, I really enjoyed your use of graphics to show the three different principles of Universal Design for Learning and the neural networks they address. I agree that the use of a universally designed lesson is beneficial in addressing the diverse learners that we encounter in the classroom. What are some ways that you use UDL to meet your students’ needs?
ReplyDeleteI found myself trying to come up with many ways to represent the same same instructional information. That was my first step in attempting to use UDL to meet the needs of my students. Also, getting to know my students very well and the ways in which they learn best helped me to know which principles and strategies to focus on the most. Also, I have stumbled upon a new and very useful resource for using UDL in my own lesson plans. Refer to my most recent post with the checklist of things to include in your lessons to make them UDL friendly. Hope that will help!!
