2. ―UDL provides a blueprint for creating
instructional goals, methods, materials, and

3. came from an architectural movement called
universal design
builders realized access was prohibitive to
certain groups of people
ramps and elevators were retrofitted causing
costly renovations
purpose was to create structures to
accommodate a wide spectrum of users
create the structure from the beginning, not
add on later
4. ramps

12. Neuroscientists have
discovered:
the brain is made up
of networks
learning is distributed
across 3 neural
networks
these neural networks
work together in
learning:
Recognition
Strategic
Affective

information, ideas, and concepts
Examples:
process patterns
gather facts
categorize what we see, hear, and read

14. multiple ways in which students can express
themselves
Examples:
mental and motion patterns
plan and perform actions
organize and express ideas
front of brain
15. engaging students with tasks and learning
and with the world around us
Examples:
process emotions

we all have different experiences and
interests
we all process information differently
