Universal Design for Learning (UDL) is a framework that provides guidelines to make classrooms accessible and engaging for all students regardless of ability or learning style. The goal is to give all students equal opportunities to learn by adjusting instruction to meet varied student needs. UDL emphasizes providing multiple means of representation, expression, and engagement to cater to different learning styles and support self-regulation. While requiring time and effort, implementing UDL lesson plans benefits all students, especially in diverse classrooms.
