Introduction
In today’s diverse classrooms, educators face
the challenge of meeting the varied needs of
all learners. Universal Design for Learning
(UDL) and differentiation are two
complementary approaches that help create
inclusive learning environments. This
presentation will explore the principles of
UDL, the strategies for differentiation, and
how they work together to support every
student's success.
What is Universal Design for Learning
(UDL)?

UDL vs Differentiation: Key
Differences
UDL Differentiation
•Tailors instruction based
•Focuses on proactive
on the specific needs of
design of curriculum for all
students
learners from the start •More reactive to individual
•Anticipates diversity in
student needs after
the classroom
assessment
Strategies for Implementing UDL and
Differentiation
Provide choices for
Grouping
students
(e.g., projects, essays, Group students based
videos) on readiness and skill
level
multiple media for
Tiering
instruction
(videos, texts, Offer tiered activities
infographics) and tasks
Scaffold learning Diversifying
(gradual support Provide individual or
reduction) small-group instruction as
needed
Thank you
