So what is the difference between Universal Design for Learning (UDL) and Traditional Education? In a traditional classroom, teachers craft the instruction plans for the entire classroom, but in UDL, the lessons are geared to different types of learners. Furthermore, a traditional education only allows accommodations for certain students, like those with an IEP, but UDL assists all students. Rigidity rules as teachers decide the way material is taught in traditional education, where flexibility shines in UDL as teachers work with students to plan learning methods. In traditional educations, students have just one way to complete assignments, and in UDL, pupils have various methods in finishing assignments. Finally, grades measure performance in traditional education, but they reinforce goals in UDL.
