Digital Content and UDL:A Recipe for Reaching and
Teaching All Learners
2013 Winter Equity Conference
Professional Development Objective
Equity Liaisons will be empowered to share features of digital content which reflect UDL and support the diverse learning needs of BCPS
students.http://www.bloomingtononline.net/directory/category/Restaurants/11
UDL (Universal Design for Learning)
http://www.bloomingtononline.net/directory/category/Restaurants/11
The term UNIVERSAL DESIGN FOR LEARNING means a scientifically valid framework for guiding educational practice that:(A) provides flexibility in the ways information is presented, in
the ways students respond or demonstrate knowledge and skills, and in the ways students are engaged; and
(B) reduces barriers in instruction, provides appropriate accommodations, supports, and challenges, and maintains high achievement expectations for all students, including students with disabilities and students who are limited English proficient.

BCPS-licensed Digital Content addresses the three principles of UDL:
1. Provide Multiple Means of Representation (the “what” of learning)
2. Provide Multiple Means of Action and Expression (the “how” of learning)
3. Provide Multiple Means of Engagement (the “why” of learning)
30+ Databases
BCPS Databases address these goals and standards:Blueprint 2.0 Goal 1 - Academics
21st Century Teaching & Learning: – Building student competencies for information, media, &
