What is
the teachers are both teaching the same information, but they divide the class group and do so simultaneously
Teachers share the responsibility for two or more classes, dividing up the subject areas between them
Difference between UDL & DI
What is
UDL aims to ensure all students have full access to everything in the classroom, regardless of their needs and abilities. Differentiation is a strategy aimed at addressing each student's individual levels of readiness, interest, and learning profiles.
