About Us |

Our
methodology
and approach
to learning,
teaching,
and pedagogy
is based
upon
universal
design
theory (UD).

Universal
Design |
Universal
Design
is the
design of
products and
environments
to be usable
by all
people, to
the greatest
extent
possible,
without the
need for
adaptation
or
specialized
design.
Universal
design is an
approach
utilized to
the design
products and
environments,
including
educational
and instruction
materials,
that
considers
the the
variety of
abilities,
disabilities,
racial/ethnic
backgrounds,
reading
abilities,
ages, and
other
characteristics
of the
student
body.
Universal
Design
theory is
based upon
Cognitive
Psychology
and
Neurology.

Universal
Design for
Learning (UDL)
|
Universal
Design for
Learning (UDL)
is a theory
of teaching and
learning based on
Neuroanatomy
and
functional
Neuroimaging
research
techniques.
UDL resists
a
one-size-fits-all
approach to
education,
and
instead
recognizes that
teachers,
educators,
and
materials
should
effectively
respond to
the
individual
differences
inherent
within a
learning
environment. The
principles
of Universal
Design for
Learning (UDL)
support the
following
precepts:
*
Students
need various
ways to
acquire
information
and
knowledge
*
Students
need
alternatives
ways to
demonstrate
what they
have learned
*
Students
need
interaction
that holds
their
interest and
motivates
them |
