Thank you for sharing this high quality video with the world. As a teacher, these kinds of presentations give me ideas for me classroom. I have been experimenting with UDL principles without even knowing that is what they were. I have gained skill at multiple means of presentation, but have much to learn about multiple means of expression and engagement. I believe following Howard Gardner's Multiple Intelligences gives us a good framework for how to differentiate in each of these categories.

Amei essa sua explanação. Ainda tinha muitas dúvidas sobre UDL para aprendizagem. Obrigada!

Why couldn't they write: Universal Design for Learning (UDL) in the description? Instead - it's just the acronym. Didn't we learn in school that the name, with the acronym in parentheses be written first and then the acronym could be used from then on? I had to rewind the video several times to remember that UDL stood for universal design for learning. It would have been nice if it was in the description.

This video is awesome! It targets exceptional students at many age levels. I think that we need to implement more bilingual teachers and teachers need to know how to teach children with disabilities.

Disappointed that most of videos deal with primary and middle schools. Where is the High School especially classes that deal with State Regent exams and A.P courses.

Aren't you able to adapt the principles and concepts to your teaching context? I am an ECT student and I can clearly identifying all UDL principles within the early childhood services.

This is very interesting information. The classrooms of today are designed like they were in the 1800s and are not conducive to helping the diverse learner of today. Changing the classroom look should be our first goal. using that new design to help students is then our second goal. Of course the change in design of the classroom will also help the learner.

Several troubling deficit perspectives in Dr. Rose's commentary. First, "students for whom English is not their first language" and "students with disabilities" are cast at one end of a spectrum and "students called gifted and talented" at the other. This not only places students into "margins" with the implication being that this involves some nebulous measure of ability (possibly intelligence?) in which the first group is assumed to be lacking and the latter possessing an abundance, but also assumes that ESOL students and differently abled students cannot also be "gifted and talented." Second, the statement, "we began more and more to see that the curriculum itself was disabled," well, to say the least, that's a troubling reapplication of the term. If we follow the implication that being "disabled" requires revision or "reduction", are we to apply this necessity only to curricula, or also to people upon whom the term is more often applied?

Oh my gosh! Do you have to beat around the bush all the time?

Welcome to the academic world. You do have to concentrate.

You're expecting me to believe that you understand something about children's learning and needs while you're cutting from shot to shot of you talking and them looking pissed off and bored out of their minds?
