Universal Design for Learning

What is UDL?

In today's schools, the mix of students is more diverse than ever. Educators are challenged to teach all kinds of learners to high standards, yet a single classroom may include students who struggle to learn for any number of reasons, such as the following:

Learning disabilities such as dyslexia
English language barriers
Emotional or behavioral problems
Lack of interest or engagement
Sensory and physical disabilities

Teachers want their students to succeed, but a one-size-fits-all approach to education simply does not work. Universal Design for Learning is a philosophy that responds to individual differences. For more information on UDL log on to the CAST Universal Design for Learning website at: http://www.cast.org/research/udl/index.html

A number of teachers in our district are working together to think hard about UDL using an inquiry approach to thinking hard about teaching to diversity in their classrooms. Stayed tuned to find out more as these teachers meet monthly at the "UDL Cafe".

Fairview Community School has a grant to implement UDL in their school. Follow their progress at their website: http://schools.sd68.bc.ca/fair/School_Support/School_Support.htm
