Concept Map: Universal Design for Learning

The Universal Design for Learning allows the teacher to "meet the challenges and take advantage of the opportunities inherent in the great variability of students, offering paths for those currently disenfranchised and developing the talents of all" (Meyer, Rose, and Gordon). As a teacher, it is important to give students options so that they can best choose how to learn the content presented to them. The UDL helps teachers implement the variety into the classroom. Below is a concept map with important features of the UDL that I learned from reading Chapter 4 of Universal Design for Learning Theory and Practice by Anne Meyer, David H. Rose, and David Gordon. The information presented in the concept map will give teachers the steps and tools needed to develop universal designs for learning for the students that need it the most.
