4. UNIVERSAL LEARNING DESIGN • WHAT IS UNIVERSAL DESIGN (UDL)? UDL IS A FRAMEWORK FOR LEARNING THAT IS STUDENT-CENTERED AND ENCOMPASSES “ACCESSIBILITY, COLLABORATION, AND COMMUNITY” (ROGERS-SHAW, CARR- CHELLMAN, & CHOI, 2018, P. 20). • WHY IS ULD VALUABLE? IT SUPPORTS INCLUSIVE TEACHING PRACTICES AND FOSTERS AUTHENTIC LEARNING EXPERIENCES THAT TRANSCEND THE CLASSROOM. • HOW IS IT APPLIED? ACCORDING TO KIERAN, & ANDERSON (2019), THERE ARE 3 PRINCIPLES OF UDL. THESE ARE 1) “PROVIDE MULTIPLE MEANS OF REPRESENTATION,” 2) “PROVIDE MULTIPLE MEANS OF EXPRESSION AND ACTION,” 3) “PROVIDE MULTIPLE MEANS OF ENGAGEMENT” (P. 1205).
