Summary• UDL is based on what we’ve learned in neuroscience and
the learning sciences about HOW we learn.
• There are 3 brain networks associated with learning: Affective, Recognition, Strategic and 3 UDL Principles offering multiple means of: Engagement, Representation and Action & Expression.
• The Learning Environment is a key component.
• Barriers must be evaluated and replaced with scaffolding and supports.
• We can plan a UDL Curriculum and Learning Environment by evaluating barriers and asking questions based on the UDL Guidelines.
