ESTABLISHING A POSITIVE LEARNING ENVIRONMENT

19 Universal Design for Learning

Universal Design for Learning (UDL) is an educational framework that seeks to maximize learning opportunities for all students. Universally designed learning experiences provide students with opportunities to engage with content in multiple or flexible ways. Efforts are made to make information available to students through various means of representation, to allow students to engage the material through multiple means, and to provide multiple means of action and expression (CAST, 2018).
