2. Universal Design for Learning
(UDL)
Is a research-based framework for designing
curricula—that is, educational goals, methods,
materials, and assessments.
That enable all individuals to gain knowledge, skills, and
enthusiasm for learning.
This is accomplished by simultaneously providing rich
supports for learning and reducing barriers to the
curriculum, while maintaining high achievement
standards for all students.
3. The Physical Environment
Architectural term coined by Ron Mace from North
Carolina State University in the 1970’s.
4. Curricular Barriers
Just as physical Barriers occur in our physical
environment, curricular barriers exist in our
Instructional.
UDL
Instructional Environment
Learning barriers may exist in our curricular
environment
Proactive design of curriculum
and instruction
Instructional accommodations can be time
consuming and difficult to implement
6. Brain-based Learning Networks
Brain-based research indicates three distinct yet inter-related
learning networks (Rose, Meyer, Hitchcock, 2005):
1. Recognition Learning Network (what)
How we make sense of presented information
2. Affective Learning Network (why)
How motivation & participation impacts learning
3. Strategic Learning Network (how)
How we demonstrate our learning or mastery

9. Engaging Process through UDL
What: Short (4-minute) periodic breaks to review notes and/or
discuss course content.
Why: Increases accuracy of notes (Ruhl & Suritsky, 1995); higher
exam scores and less need for sustained attention (Braun &
Simpson, 2004).
How: Pause at natural breaks (15 minutes). Provide clear
instructions, signal beginning and ending of PP and include time
for unresolved questions.
Ways:
Independent review of notes
Short writing assignment (Quick write)
Group (Think-Pair-Share) discussion of notes or material
