13. W HAT IS U NIVERSAL D ESIGN FOR LEARNING? A framework for designing curricula that provides rich supports to minimizes barriers which in turn maximizes learning for all students!

15. UDL--A CONCEPTUAL SHIFT First focus on the curriculum and then on individual students

16. UD A SSUMPTIONS 1.Not one size fits all – but alternatives for everyone. 2.Not added on later – but designed from the beginning. 3.Not access for some – but access for everyone.

17. UDL A SSUMPTIONS 1. Learners in any classroom represent a range of variability 2. Curriculum needs to reflect the variability of all learners 3. Learning is the dynamic interaction of the individual with the environment

18. U NIVERSAL D ESIGN FOR L EARNING The goal of instruction is develop to “expert learners.” Strategic, goal-directed learners. Resourceful, knowledgeable learners. Purposeful, motivated learners.
