Differentiated Instruction for Diverse Learners


Universal Design for Learning
Provides individuals equal opportunities to learn.

Recognition Networks (WHAT)
  • How we gather facts and categorize what we see, hear, and read. Identifying letters, words, or an author's style are recognition tasks.
Strategic Networks (HOW)
  • Planning and performing tasks. How we organize and express our ideas. Writing an essay or solving a math problem are strategic tasks.
Affective Networks (WHY)
  • How learners get engaged and stay motivated. How they are challenged, excited, or interested. These are affective dimensions.
