Using Universal Design for Learning (UDL) to Meet the Literacy Needs of All Students

Universal design for learning (UDL) provides a framework for classroom instruction that can have substantial impact on a wide range of students to ignite their interests and engage their learning through the applications of technology.

The framework of UDL is guided by 3 overarching principles to support learning:

• Principle 1: Provide multiple means of representation

• Principle 2: Provide multiple means for expression

• Principle 3: Provide multiple means for engagement
