The Common Core and Universal Design for Learning
The Common Core...
- provides a clear and rigorous set of learning targets aimed toward what students must learn.
- The CC standards are designed to help students to develop deep understanding of topics with connections to authentic, real world scenarios.
- The standards aim to engage students in building knowledge and skills needed for success in college and careers.
Universal Design
UDL is a...
- a research-based framework addressing learner diversity.
- UDL principles address how we teach, how students engage in learning, and how we measure what students learn.
- UDL allows for flexibility in all aspects of instruction.
The Common Core and UDL work together!
In teaching the Common Core Standards, educators should provide multiple ways to access resources and content so learners are given the opportunity to take charge of their own learning.
Curricula (goals, methods, materials, and assessments) designed using UDL put an emphasis on creating effective, flexible goals. The Common Core Standards provide an important framework for thinking about what goals should be taught.
