Bill McGrath from Montgomery County Public Schools, MD, shares why UDL is important for all learners.
Kathleen McClaskey's insight:

The UDL framework gives us guidelines and a vision to build expert learners:

  • Learners who can navigate flexible learning opportunities with great skill.  
  • Learners who do not just navigate but are active partners and innovators in the design of future learning.  

UDL tells us how to do this so it can work for each and every learner.

UDL: Meeting the Needs of All Students

UDL: Meeting the Needs of All Students | UDL - Universal Design for Learning | Scoop.it
Patti Ralabate, Director of the UDL Center, provides an excellent overview of UDL, UDL in action and case studies that offer an in depth look in how to apply the UDL principles to support student learning.

 

Applying UDL within a classroom or for a caseload of students starts with three initial steps: define appropriate goals that allow for multiple means of attainment, assess diverse learner needs, and evaluate barriers that may exist within the current curriculum.

 

Meeting all students' needs:

 

The UDL framework provides a flexible, responsive curriculum that reduces or eliminates barriers to learning. Using a UDL approach, SLPs and other educators offer curriculum options that present information and content in varied ways, differentiate the manner in which learners can express what they know, and engage students in meaningful, authentic learning. With UDL, more students are:

> Engaged in their own education.

> Learning in greater breadth and depth.

> Achieving at higher levels.

> Motivated to continue learning.
