The principles of Universal Design for Learning provide guidance to teachers seeking to create more inclusive learning environments. What is the basic premise behind UDL, and how does it differ from making modifications for a particular learner?
What will be an ideal response?
Answer:
Universal Design for Learning holds that learning environments are most effective when they are designed to allow and promote access and involvement for all learners on a flexible basis. This differs from making after-the-fact modifications for a single learner (e.g., reading a test to him/her) since the flexibilities are built in from the beginning and are available to any learner for whom they would be helpful.
