EDLD+5364+-+Week+3+Reflection

This week I examined the CAST instructions for universal design for learning. The best lesson delivery methods contain numerous facets. The more variations that can be provided the better. To accommodate the various types of learners a student should be able to hear, read, and interact with the lesson materials.

Varying the method of delivery also helps make the lesson effective for teaching students with disabilities. Traditional lecture can be very difficult for blind and deaf students. Universally designed lessons can be carried out with very little adjustment in almost any classroom. Flexibility and effectiveness are to of the major benefits of UDL.
