EDTS 522 - The What, Why, and How of Universal Design for Learning (3)

Are you looking for ways to engage all students? Do you notice how students learn in different ways, but aren’t quite sure how to address all of their needs? 

Universal Design for Learning (UDL) is a framework that can help you plan lessons that meet the needs of all of your students. Based on brain research, UDL will help you meet the needs of diverse learners by planning lessons that consider the wide variability among learners.  

In this course, you will examine the brain research behind UDL principles and how you can leverage that knowledge to create deeper engagement and comprehension. After gaining a clear understanding of these principles, you will be able to plan lessons that engage students in making sense of the information presented to them while expressing their knowledge in meaningful ways. You’ll learn how to incorporate student choice and technology into lessons while still fulfilling Common Core State Standards.

With the knowledge and strategies you learn in this course, you will be able to use UDL to implement your standards, meet your learning objectives, and support all students in your classroom.
