PROBLEMS WITH RETROFIT
Drawbacks of Retrofitting:
• Each retrofit solves only
one local problem
• Retrofitting can be
costly
• Many retrofits are
UGLY!
UD - A CONCEPTUAL SHIFT
“Consider the needs of the broadest possible range of users from the beginning”
-- Architect, Ron Mace
WHAT IS UNIVERSAL DESIGN FOR LEARNING?
A framework for designing curricula
that provides rich supports to
minimizes barriers which in turn
maximizes learning for all students!
UD ASSUMPTIONS
1. Not one size fits all – but alternatives for everyone.
2. Not added on later – but designed from the beginning.
3. Not access for some – but access for everyone.
UDL ASSUMPTIONS
1. Learners in any classroom
represent a range of
variability
2. Curriculum needs to reflect
the variability of all learners
3. Learning is the dynamic
interaction of the individual
with the environment
UNIVERSAL DESIGN FOR LEARNING
The goal of instruction is develop to “expert learners.”
• Strategic, goal-directed learners. • Resourceful, knowledgeable learners. • Purposeful, motivated learners.

UDL AND THE LEARNING BRAIN
With a partner and one laptop, complete the following online learning module titled The Learning Brain: Your Three Brain Networks

UDL AND THE LEARNING BRAIN
Recognition: the “what” of learning”
• Multiple means of representation
Strategy: the “how” of learning
• Multiple means of action and expression
Affect: the “why” of learning
• Multiple means of engagement
GOAL
To understand the UDL Guidelines and application to classroom practices, such
as development of lessons.
THE UDL GUIDELINES
Three Principles
