Universal design for learning

Universal Design for Learning (UDL) is an educational framework based on research in the learning sciences, including cognitive neuroscience that guides the development of flexible learning environments that can accommodate individual learning differences Helps all students be successful learners and plays to students' strengths. Instead of making changes to tests after they have been produced in order to provide an accommodation for a given student, test is designed to meet a wide range of needs. Differentiates the ways students express what they know (the "how" of learning) Stimulates interest and motivation for learning (the "why" of learning) Makes costly, time-consuming, and after-the-fact changes to curriculum unnecessary. Allows maintaining high expectations but expands the ways in which objectives can be reached (e.g. using different tools, different media, or different approaches). Providing multiple ways to attain high standards, rather than lowering them, is consistent with both standards-based reform and UDL. Learner has different ability the teacher has to teach to all the children the content. UDL apply in the classroom by teachers. It should be easy to all the students to learn the content they can learn effectively. Making things easy is called universal design for learning. Teacher has to understand every child has a kind of strength and weakness. No one can perfect. One size cannot fit for all.

              According to Albert Einstein, Everybody is a genius but if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is a stupid.

In a classroom also a child who is weak in one aspect similarly strong in another subject or aspect. 

UDL says that

A curriculum should include alternative to make it accessible and appropriate by deciding instructional methods, materials activities and evaluation proceedings   in an effort to access students with wide differences in the ability to see hear , speak, read, write and understand language attend organize all sort of ability describe here.

According to Architect Ron Mace, “consider the need of the broadest possible range of users from the beginning ’’
