Universal Design is an approach to teaching that aims to engage students with different learning styles and from diverse cultures. It has three main principles: 1) providing multiple means of representation so students can perceive information in different ways, 2) allowing for multiple means of action and expression so students can demonstrate knowledge in different formats, and 3) providing multiple means of engagement so all types of learners can be interested and motivated. The goal is to design inclusive learning experiences through techniques like hands-on activities, alternative assessments, flexible timing, and independent learning.

2. What is Universal Design
 Universal Design is a starting point for
educators to teach and engage students with
learning from many cultures of learning
styles.
 A goal and process to be applied to the
design of any product or environment.

3. 3 Principles of Universal Design
 Principle 1: How does
the learner pick up on
the information?
 Principle 2: How do
learners express and
act on that
information?
 Principle 3: How are
learners engaged by
the learning situation?

4. Principle 1:
Provide Multiple Means of Representation
 Provide Options for
Perception. Make sure
every child can preserve
it. Provide options for
language and symbols.
Make sure information is
comprehendible.
 Use hand on experiences
or manipulatives for
learning styles.

5. Principle 2:
Provide multiple Means of Action and Expression
 Provide options for physical action. Provide
options for expressive skills and fluency as well
as options for executive functions.
 Allow students to show off what they know
skillfully in writing and through pictures.
 Allow goals to be made and met, as well as
monitoring own progress through out the class
room.

6. Principle 3:
Multiple Means of Engagement
 Provide options for
interest in all kinds of
learners. Not
everything interests all
students, must try new
ideas. Try to provide
options for effort and
persistence. Finally let
learners be self
regulated.

7. How to Imply Universal Design
