and The Common Core Based on universal design concept from
architecture (curb cut-outs)Focus on the curriculum and its
limitations How do these limitations disable learners?The burden of
adaptation should be placed on the curricula, not the
learnerEliminating the barriers without eliminating the
challengesNo longer focusing on just the average student (not the
bowling ball)Brief Overview of UDLUniversal Design of LearningWhat

expert learners:*individuals who want to learn*individuals who know
how to learn strategically *individuals who are well prepared for
life-long learning*focus on all students
The Concept and Framework Of UDLThe Concept:UDL is a framework
that addresses the primary barrier to fostering expert learners
within instructional environments: inflexible, one-size-fits-all
curriculaThe Framework:Encourages creating flexible designs from
the start that have customizable options, which allow all learners
to progress from where they are and not to find where we would have
imagined them to be.

Engagement
