What Does UD Look Like In A Classroom?

Multiple Means of Representation

There is no one way to present information so

that everyone understands it

So present

in multiple

ways

Multiple Means of Action and Expression

Students vary greatly in how they express what they

know

So give them a choice

Multiple Means of Engagement

If students aren’t engaged, they aren’t

learningSo implement

multiple methods to appeal to all

students
