Should I provide modifications for students with special needs or should I design learning opportunities that benefit all students? Universal Design for Learning (UDL) is an educational approach that benefits all students by reducing barriers to learning and addressing the different learning needs of students. UDL describes three main principles to guide the selection and development of learning environments, resources and activities that support individual learning differences and reduce curricular barriers:  multiple means of engagement, multiple means of representation and multiple means of action and expression. Through this session we will develop an increased awareness and understanding needed to implement flexible and responsive learning experiences that acknowledge every student’s individual learning needs.
