Assessing the I Want to Work workbook for the principles of Universal Design for Learning

Under Principle 1 for providing multiple means of presentation that support resourceful and knowledgeable learners, guidelines suggest that information needs to be presented in a variety of modalities (e.g., through touch) and representations (for example, enlarged print)so students can recognize and sort what they see, hear and read.

Principle 2 highlights the provision of multiple means of action and expression for enabling strategic, goal-oriented learners. The guidelines under this principle recommend presenting information in a variety of formats so the student can navigate the content and express what they know about the content in the way they communicate best.

And, finally, Principle 3 addresses providing multiple means of engagement so we have purposeful and motivated learners. Guidelines in this area stress the importance of not only appealing to a learner’s interests to get their attention but that also challenge the learner and prompt him to interact with others for support so we maintain the learner’s interest and attention.

In a nutshell, this is what we learn, how we learn, and why we learn.

From that chart, under Principle 1 for providing multiple means of presentation that support resourceful and knowledgeable learners, guidelines suggest that information needs to be presented in a variety of modalities and representations so students can recognize and sort what they see, hear and read. An example is large print. Principle 2 in the chart highlights the provision of multiple means of action and expression for enabling strategic, goal-oriented learners. The guidelines under this principle recommend presenting information in a variety of formats so the student can navigate the content and express what they know about the content in the way they communicate best. And, finally, UDL Principle 3 addresses providing multiple means of engagement so we have purposeful and motivated learners. Guidelines in this area stress the importance of not only appealing to a learner's interests to get their attention but that also challenge the learner and prompt him to interact with others for support so we maintain the learner's interest and attention. What all of this means, in plain language, is what we learn, how we learn, and why we learn.
