3 PRINCIPLES TO UDL
March 30, 2014
Reaching and Engaging All Learners through Technology (EDUC - 6714I - 2)
Principles 1:
MULTIPLE LEVELS OF REPRESENTATION
Buildings were not designed to accommodate individuals with disabilities.
Redesigning and renovating old construction to accommodate the needs of individuals with disabilities proved to costly.
Designing structures that met the needs of everyone, including individuals with disabilities, is more cost effective.
Accommodations if design properly can enhance the overall design of the structure.
Meeting the learning needs of every student is a daunting task but is manageable if the teacher is flexible with both teaching styles and lessons. Offering a variety of resources to help enhance student learning is recommended (Laureate Education. 2009).
Resources may include:
Visual aides (physical or digital form)
Books, digital text or audio
Videos
Hands-on models
Computers, laptops, tablets
Smartboards

To further enhance student learning, teachers should provide engaging real world projects in conjunction with the lesson. Allowing collaboration, tutoring can help in the learning process.
Resources may include:
Musical equipment
Construction equipment

Technology provides the teacher flexibility in how they design their lessons to meet the learning needs of all students. Students can benefit form a tailored education. Struggling students can use technology to overcome barriers, while advance students can challenge themselves on a high level.

Universal Design for Learning (UDL) is an instructional format that gives every student the opportunity to be successful by designing flexibility into the curriculum. After researching the various concepts and resources, I believe that this instructional format can be utilized throughout my school district. I would encourage anyone interested in learning more about the UDL format to visit www.CAST.org for more information.
Traditional learning techniques altho effective, do not meet the needs of all students. Traditional methods can become stale and boring which can cause students to loose interest or focus. Creating a fun and engaging lesson that offers a variety of instructional formats, outlets to express growth and engaging activities will enhance the overall learning experience.
