UDL's Three Strategic Networks

As mentioned in previous posts, UDL provides educators guidelines for creating instructional goals, methods, materials and assessments that work for EVERY student.  Each individual is unique to the way they learn and UDL emphasizes the important aspect of neuroscience that reveals the unique differences of individuals.  The image below describes the three primary brain networks that affects learning.

Recognition Present information and content in different ways

Strategic Differentiate the ways that students can express what they know

Affective Stimulate interest and motivation for learning 

Here's comprehensive information about the three main principles of UDL.
