UDL Concept Map

Universal Design Learning is a way of approaching pedagogy in a way that takes into consideration each students' needs--their learning styles, their abilities or disabilities, their ability to adapt to their environment or materials around them. I found this article to be very interesting from a special ed. perspective, because it lays the groundwork for equalizing all learners, and potentially de-emphasizing the labels affixed to each individual receiving services and/or accommodations. A framework that democratizes pedagogy, and adds value to educative experiences, is something worth discussing among teachers.
