Abstract

Technology has transformed how struggling learners engage with content - how accessible materials are, how students can demonstrate their learning, and how teachers can build student engagement. Through the lens of Universal Design for Learning (UDL), teachers can ensure their classes are designed to serve all students, including children with special needs. This paper will share how UDL can be implemented in the Indian context. It will talk about the challenges faced by struggling learners, and share strategies that have been seen to be effective in Indian classrooms. The paper draws on outcome data from a six-month professional development programme (PDP) where mainstream and special educators were introduced to the concept of UDL and supported with implementing UDL strategies in their classes. Implications for the field at large are discussed.
