Universal design in education aims to create curriculum and learning experiences accessible to all students by addressing potential barriers. It does this through understanding errors in current systems, identifying barriers for different students, and planning to prevent those barriers. Techniques like varied presentation methods, group work, hands-on activities, and using visual and auditory elements help engage all learners, from those with disabilities or who are English learners to gifted students. The goal is for every student to find success.
