C. ABSTRACTION
Universal Design for Learning (UDL) is a framework used in education
that makes instruction more flexible and adaptable to the diverse needs of students.
Students think and do things differently from one another, but often times teachers
use the traditional, constricting and one-size-fits-all method for instruction. Thus
students who have different learning styles, abilities and needs might not be able to
perform to the best of their ability as the teaching method is not suitable and
engaging to them.
Imagine dancing in shoes three times smaller than your size. Take for
instance, Jose, who likes to play football and perform hip-hop routines. He has
difficulty learning physics by just listening and looking at the teacher’s traditional
instruction of lecturing with a slide show. He needs to be more mobile and hands-on
to grasp the concepts. UDL makes it possible for teachers to rethink their teaching
strategies and provide means to design the instruction to suit a variety of learning
styles and reach all students.
UDL has three guiding principles for instruction to be made suitable for
students’ needs and abilities.

UDL principles can then be applied by the teacher to the four curricular
components. The diagram shows the components.

Take note that the UDL lesson plan provides more variety in ways that
student acquire knowledge – they can work individually or in a group, they can
choose activities that they like to do, they have more opportunities to interact with
peers and make their own decisions. Because of the variety of methods and
strategies used, more student abilities, interest and needs are accommodated and
students have more chances of success in the classroom.
D. APPLICATION
Imagine you are a teacher of a grade 3 class in a public school. You have to
cater to the following students:
● Visual learners
● Auditory learners
● Tactile learners
● Kinesthetic learners

C. ABSTRACTION
Differentiated Instruction (DI) is a strategy to address the differences in
students – their learning styles, performance readiness and levels, engagement
styles and interests and needs. This strategy provides various opportunities for
students to access information and demonstrate learning.

22 | E D 2 0 5
West Visayas State University 2020
C. ABSTRACTION
Co-teaching is a practice that pairs two teachers together, usually a general
education teacher and a special education teacher, that is equally accountable for
one class and shares the responsibilities of planning, instructing and assessing.
Co-teaching strategies
1. One Teach, One Observe. One of the advantages in co-teaching is that more
detailed observation of students engaged in the learning process can occur. With this
approach, for example, co-teachers can decide in advance what types of specific
observational information to gather during instruction and can agree on a system for
gathering the data. Afterward, the teachers should analyze the information
together.
2. One Teach, One Assist. In a second approach to co-teaching, one person would
keep primary responsibility for teaching while the other professional circulated
through the room providing unobtrusive assistance to students as needed.
6. Team Teaching: In team teaching, both teachers are delivering the same
instruction at the same time. Some teachers refer to this as having one brain in two
bodies. Others call it tag team teaching. Most co-teachers consider this approach the
most complex but satisfying way to co-teach, but the approach that is most
dependent on teachers' styles.

punctual, aloof and very opinionated. This was opposite her bubbly and expressive
nature. She felt intimidated and anxious in Dr Shirley’s presence.
When Louise started telling Dr Shirley about Briana’s behavior problems, she
immediately intervened and explained some behavior therapy that she has been
using on Briana. Louise found it difficult to understand because Dr Shirley was using
a lot of unfamiliar words in her explanation. When she started asking questions, Dr
Shirley became impatient and curt. She continued explaining the therapy without
accommodating Louise’s questions.
After 30 minutes, she stands up and says she has patients to attend to.
Louise felt she wasted the doctor’s time.
Louise feels she needs Dr Shirley’s help and wants to collaborate with her.
Identify the problems (3) in this situation and provide solutions for each so that next
time Teacher Louise meets Dr Shirley she can be more successful in her
communication and collaboration with the behavior therapist.
