Universal Design in Education
Universal Design is the creation of environments and objects that are equally usable and accessible to all people. It aims to create things universally for everyone rather than altering them to fit specific needs. The classroom curriculum currently favors an "average student" but there is no such thing - a Universal Design curriculum allows every student to succeed. It implements multiple means of representation, expression, and engagement so each student can learn in their own way. A Universal Design classroom provides flexible goals, universally designed materials, various teaching methods, and assessments to create equal opportunities for all learners.

Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
2. Universal Design
Overview
• Universal Design is the creation of anything from environments to objects that
is equally usable and accessible to everyone. The area/ object is created
universal for all people, instead of altered to fit the needs of people across the
spectrum.
• Universal Design has a list of seven principles that establish a set of ideals of
how environments and objects should be created so that they can be made
equally for all types of people. These principles include ideas such as there
should be a low physical effort to access/ use the environment or object and
that the design of the item has a minimized chance of a hazard occurring to
protect all people.
3. Why Universal Design is
Needed in the Classroom
Curriculums across the country are created and based on what some
people refer to as the “average student.” Studies have shown that there
is no such thing.
Children who are considered “disabled” are not succeeding in a pre-
designed curriculum because it is not built for them. Children who are
considered “gifted” are not being challenged in this curriculum so neither
type of child is gaining anything from this type of curriculum.
4. What Universal Design Can
Do for the Education
Creating a Universal Design curriculum in the classroom works for every student and allows
every student to become an “expert learner” who loves to learn and gains something from the
curriculum.
Students in the classroom will be able to make choices with the flexible curriculum. Each
individual student can take a different path to reach becoming an “expert learner.”
The implementing of Universal Design will decrease the amount of “disabled” students and more
students will be able to succeed and achieve more in the classroom.
5. UD Implemented in the
Classroom
• There are three principles that are implemented in the classroom when a UD curriculum is
established.
• There is multiple representations when it comes to presenting information to the students. Various
ways of delivering information to students are to be used.
• Multiple means of expression must be available to the students because each student expresses
themselves in different ways in the classroom.
• Multiple means of engagement is importance because if the students are not in love with learning
then they will not be able to gain as much in the classroom.
6. UD Implemented in the
Classroom
• There are also four core parts of the Universal Design curriculum that are important for the
classroom to create equal opportunities of learning for all students.
• Goals needs to be created so that standards are set in the classroom about what the teacher
wants each individual child to achieve.
• The materials in the classroom must be universally designed so that all students have access
and are able to use them to gain an effective learning experience.
• The teacher must be open to using several methods of teaching because each individual child
is going to require a unique type of teaching method to be able to become an expert learner.
• Assessments need to be given so that we know that the UD curriculum is being utilized
correctly and that children are learning.
