Universal Design for Learning

Universal Design for Learning (UDL) is quite a concept that really opens a lot of avenues for educators. As teachers we need to have the viewpoint that every student is going to learn differently. This idea is very important and if not considered by the educator, many students will be lost. I researched this topic several times in my education classes. I feel very strongly that i try will every lesson to implement these ideals. I work with struggling readers that do not like to read or write. Having different ways form them to communicate t they have understood the lesson is key. I have a number of units already set up that they can rely what they have learned by drawing, using computers, singing, creating a PowerPoint or touring a "virtual world" to fully experience the situation. I am continually researching and developing ideas that will reach every student and give them each an outlet to express the knowledge gained.
