2. Similarities They include all students Universal Design for Learning (UDL) & Differentiation work together “The universal design movement changed how architects think about designing buildings. Similarly, UDL calls for a shift in how educators think about designing learning environments”,(Ge Vue, Strangman, & Meyer, 2014).

3. What are the Differences? Differentiated instruction focuses on summative assessments. “DI recognized individual student difference. Pioneer researchers like Maker and Nielson (1986) even sought ways to change assessment for the identification of underrepresented CLD learners in gifted education,” (Santamaria,2009). UDL focus on designing instruction in a different way. “They provide specific ways for each student to learn as efficiently as possible, without assuming one student's best way to learn is the same as another's,”(Puckett, 2013).
