The principles of the Universal Design for Learning streamline the seemingly impossible task of teaching every student at their personal learning level, while using each of the learning styles, and packs it all into an easy to use framework that does exactly that!
Universal Design for Learning takes the guesswork out of differentiation on tests and quizzes and gives teachers a break from the fear of failure while helping students retain content. This is especially helpful with difficult content.
Teaching science involves the Why, What and How questions that the UDL framework is based on. This makes the UDL a design that supports that natural way that science is learned as well as provides opportunities to incorporate the principles of the Nature of Science to help students become lifetime learners.
By using the UDL approaches, students can investigate phenomena that is full of wonder and excitement and meet mastery goals no matter what learning modifications they may need. The framework, when used as designed(using multiple media), will meet students where they are and learning the complex concepts behind scientific phenomena is within the reach of all students.
