Universal Design for Learning is a methodology for structuring lesson planning and classroom management around equity and accessibility to that all students can feel included and supported by classroom activities, assignments, and the overall process of learning.
UDL’s components, Engagement, Representation, and Action & Expression are based off of the neuroscience of learning.
Engagement focuses on stimulating learner interest and motivation for learning.
Representation is about providing learners with different forms of information and content.
Action & Expression allows learners to express what they know in different ways.
