UDL

• Multiple means of representation, to give
  learners various ways of acquiring information
  and knowledge
• Multiple means of expression, to provide learners
  alternatives for demonstrating what they know
• Multiple means of engagement, to tap into
  learners' interests, offer appropriate
  challenges, and increase motivation
• (Rose Meyer)

22
UDL

• A flexible curriculum with varying methods and
  materials, maximising every students opportunity
  to learn
• Carefully conceived class wide learning goals,
  inclusive of all students
• individualised approaches for reaching those
  goals, including customised supports that change
  as learners progress
• Assessments that measure ongoing progress and
  provide teachers and students with useful feedback
