WHAT IS UDL?
Universal Design for Learning
A teaching approach or framework with variation of teaching methods designed to

remove barriers and give all students equal opportunity to succeed.
WHYIS IT NECESSARYTO USE UDL?
Classrooms are more diverse than ever before; every learner is unique. UDL is
designed to minimize the barriers of curriculum, optimize access, and maximize
learning for all students.
UDL offers the opportunity to teach to the margins - rather than working for some
students, UDL creates access and understanding for all students.
Lessons, assignments, and assessments should work for eachevery

and student.
WHEN IS IT NECESSARYTO USE UDL?
UDL can become useful to many students and help them achieve their goals.
Some examples of when it's necessary to use UDL in your classroom:
● If a student has trouble reading out of a textbook, a teacher can provide text to
speech for that student or can provide audiobooks.
● If a student isn't sure on what part of the assignment they lost points, a teacher
can help them understand where they made that error by providing proper
feedback on the assignment.
PRINCIPLES IN UDL
Principle 1: REPRESENTATION
Principle 2: ACTION AND EXPRESSION
Principle 3: ENGAGEMENT
UDL PRINCIPLE EXAMPLES
● PRINCIPAL 1 Representation
Providing alternatives for accessing classroom content (e.g.,

using teaching concepts and visual audio)
Guidelines for using Representation

:
1. Participation- Interact with flexible content that doesn't depend

on a single sense like sight, hearing, movement, or touch.
2. Language and symbols - Communicate through languages that
create a shared understanding
3. Comprehension- Construct meaning and generate new
understandings
UDL PRINCIPLES EXAMPLES
● PRINCIPAL 2 ACTIONS AND EXPRESSION
Allowing students alternatives to demonstrate or express their

learning.
Guidelines for using action and expression:
1. Physical action- Interact with accessible materials and tools.

2. Expression and communication - Compose and share ideas using
tools that help attain learning goals.
3. Executive functions- Develop and act on plans to make the most
out of learning
UDL PRINCIPLES EXAMPLES
● PRINCIPAL 3 ENGAGEMENT
Refreshing students interest and motivation in a variety of ways.
Guidelines for using engagement
1. Recruiting interest-Spark excitement and curiosity for learning.

2. Sustaining effort and persistence
- Tackle challenges with focus and determination
3. Self regulation-Harness the power of emotions and motivation in learning.

IMPLEMENTING IT IN YOUR CLASSROOM
OPTIONS FOR INPUT - OPTIONS FOR OUTPUT - OPTIONS FOR ENGAGEMENT
Use different types of media, graphics, colors, and animation. Allow options for
expression: writing, drawing; oral presentations, recordings, or videos. Let students
engage in a variety of ways. Give students choices!
As individuals, we all have different learning experiences and prior knowledge. UDL
allows us to build on our own, often diverse, prior knowledge and deepen our
understanding.
