UDL

Universal Design for Learning is a framework to improve and optimize teaching and learning for all people based on scientific insights about how the human learns.

In a diverse classroom, UDL maximizes the learning for all the different types of students. The curriculum should provide the needs and interests of EVERY student. There are 3 parts in our brain. 1) recognition-the what of learning. 2)skills and strategies-the how of learning 3) caring and prioritizing-the why of learning. 

In the classroom, when creating a lesson, ask yourself: what is my goal?! each lesson has to incorporate many ways of representation of the topic. also, there should be many options for actions and expressions in which the students can express themselves. thirdly, engagement. Give students choices to help them fuel their interests. Always keep in mind the goal.
