Universal Design is an approach to teaching that aims to include all students by presenting information in multiple formats and motivating students through different methods. It involves identifying the learning context, defining the student population, consulting students, adopting inclusive guidelines, applying those guidelines when designing lessons, planning for individual needs, providing teacher training, and evaluating effectiveness. The key principles of Universal Design are making education equitable, flexible, simple, accessible to all senses, forgiving of mistakes, requiring minimal physical effort, and with adequate space for all students.

2. Why use Universal
Design?
- We have had a very narrow way of teaching for
many years. Curriculum was based around some
students but not all.
- Changing how we teach and how we set up
lessons in the future, will help to include students
instead of labeling them with disabilities.

3. Three Main Principals
- How do we present information?
Using different ways of presenting material
can help each student understand the topic in their
own way.
- How do we find out what students know?
- How do we motivate students to be involved with
learning?
