Universal Design for Learning

As half of a social studies co-teach team, the theories and ideas behind Universal Design for Learning were both timely and thought provoking.    While planning, there is a constant struggle to meet the needs of every student, each with their own learning style and challenges.  The articles' emphasis on the role of applied neuroscience in student learning forced me to examine my own methods.  It reinforced the idea that students learn from clear, well-constructed objectives and scaffolded activities.
