UDL - Universal Design for Learning

What is UDL?

What does it mean to be an expert learner?  According to the principles and guidelines of UDL, all students should be working towards this goal. As a teacher, we sometimes fall short. How do we make sure every student becomes an expert learner? How do we allow students to express and act upon what they know? Today's classroom often resembles a 3-ring circus and the teacher acts as the ringmaster.


There are multiple activities and multiple stages of learning taking place at the same time. Sometimes there are several adults in the room. This is not your parents classroom! UDL principles teaches us how to activate learning for each student and to make sure that every student is learning. This can be done regardless of any barriers or disabilities.
