Universal Design for Learning (UDL) is a framework that provides guidelines for curriculum development to help address the diverse needs of all learners. The three principles of UDL are to provide multiple means of representation, action and expression, and engagement. This allows students to access information and demonstrate their knowledge in different ways that are tailored to their individual learning styles and strengths.

What is Universal Design for Learning? It is a set of principles that educators can use to create more engaging lesson plans to meet the needs of diverse learners. With more research being done on different learning disabilities and handicaps, teachers need to be equipped to teach these students within their inclusive classrooms. There are 3 principles of UDL
1. Providing Multiple Means of Representation ? Everyone learns differently ? Visual, auditory, and kinesthetic learners ? Students learn content through different methods that best fit their learning needs. These children could learn to build a plane through reading, watching a video, hearing someone, or by trail and error. They all learn to build the plane, but in the way that fits their learning needs best
2. Provide Multiple Means of Action and Expression ? Students are given different assignments ? Students could be learning about plot. Their choice of projects could be to create and act out a play, write a story, create a visual drawing of plot in a story and so on.
3. Provide Multiple Means of Engagement ? Students can learn on their own or with others ? Students can learn through inquiry, problem solving, and so on. ? Students need to be engaged in their learning in order to reach their fullest potential. The ¡°One size fits all¡± teaching methods of today with a large emphases on standardized tests will not meet the needs of all students.
