UDL and Personalized Learning: Leading to Deeper Learning
•PDI Chart
Personalized learning means...• Learners understand how they learn best by using the UDL Lens.• Teachers understand learners by using the UDL Lens.• Teachers universally-design lessons and projects that encourage
voice and choice.• Learners take responsibility for their learning.• Learners own and drive their learning along their learning path.• Teachers and learners roles change.• Teachers and learners are partners in learning who design authentic
learning activities.• Learners demonstrate mastery in a competency-based system and
progress at their own pace.
