As educators, it is important to address individual differences in students' recognition, strategic, or affective networks, thereby providing the best possible support by individualizing pathways learning through Universal Design for Learning (UDL). ). A study on alternative education for children suggests that oversimplifying differences among learners by categorizing them into two groups, regular and special, fails to accurately represent the full diversity of learners in the classroom. ( Meo, 2010, p. 21) Therefore, UDL is a curriculum design framework that provides equal opportunities for all students to learn, without discrimination regarding individual needs. For students to have equal opportunities in their learning and success, curriculum development must follow a set of principles, namely: representation, action and expression, and engagement. (CAST, 2013, paragraph 1) Together, these principles share a common goal: to provide students with a greater variety of options in their learning. As educators, whether “addressing individual differences in our students' recognition, strategic, or affective networks, we can provide the best support by individualizing learning pathways” (Meyer & Rose, 2002, np). This report will pay attention to the three principles of UDL, understanding the theories' strategies and applying that knowledge to the classroom and diverse student learners through differentiated instruction (DI). Classrooms with a variety of diverse students with different needs and abilities require multiple means. course delivery, as well as program planning and design, also called representation. This recognition network focuses on the what of learning; how facts are gathered, what is seen, heard,...... middle of paper ......0.secure.griffith.edu.au/lag/file/f676844d-d6bf-4616-bd63- 01a017a4506e/1/cr1390194012355.pdfKessler, E. and Whitbread, K.
