Abstract

Universal design for learning (UDL) is a framework for planning and delivering instruction in a way that meets the needs of the diversity of learners in the classroom. The main component of UDL is addressing learner variability. UDL helps educators better understand the brain as a com-plex organ that is composed of interconnected networks if information that is influenced by genetics and environmental factors. It supports educators in creating lessons that facilitate efficiency of information storage and retrieval for the diverse learners within the classroom. UDL principles can be utilized for instruction in areas of literacy, mathematics, science, and social studies; and to meet the individual needs of all students with a variety of diverse instructional needs including students in general education, students in early childhood programs, students who are English learners, students who are gifted, and students with disabilities.
