• Program Specialist, Georgia Department of
  Education

3
Learning Targets

• I can explain the history and purpose of
  Universal Design.
• I can use examples to illustrate how the three
  principles of Universal Design for Learning can
  be implemented in a classroom.
• I can compare and contrast UDL and
  differentiation.

4

• What is Universal Design?

5
Its ALL about ACCESS!
6
Access for All

• 1973Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act
  banned discrimination on basis of disability for
  recipients of federal funds
• July 26, 1990 Americans with Disabilities Act
  prohibited discrimination resulting from
  inaccessible buildings, etc.

• Why is Universal Design different from modifying
  existing structures to accommodate people with
  disabilities?

Retrofitting

Universal Design for Learning
Traditional Approach UDL Approach
Assumes that the curricula is fixed accommodations, modifications, and even differentiation, are retrofits that must be made in order to deal with student diversity. Assumes that the inflexible curricula is disabled curricula needs to be designed or redesigned to meet the needs of a wide diversity of students from the start.

  how the three principles of Universal Design for
  Learning can be implemented in a classroom.
• Time for learning task 15 minutes.

17
Debrief Learning Task 2

• What strategies, behaviors, and/or processes did
  you see in the video?
• How do these examples illustrate the three
  principles of UDL?

18
Learning Targets

• I can explain the history and purpose of
  Universal Design.
• I can use examples to illustrate how the three
  principles of Universal Design for Learning can
  be implemented in a classroom.

19

• How are UDL and differentiation alike and how are
  they different?

RtI, Differentiation, and UDL
Tier 4
Tier 3
Tier 2
Classrooms Instruction is
differentiated based on the
readiness, interests, or learner profile
data of specific students in the class
HOW
Tier 1
District-wide/School-wide Local
curricula incorporate UDL Principles to maximize
student access
Statewide CCGPS and GPSWHAT

Universal Design for Learning
Differentiation UDL
Based on readiness, interests, and/ or learner profiles of individual learners Based on recognition, strategic, and affective networks in the brains of all learners
Different content, products, and processes Multiple means of representation, action and expression, and engagement
Flexible grouping is the key Flexibility is the key
