Instructions:
Provide a written response to each of the two discussion prompts listed below. You will also respond to two classmates discussion posts.
1.Explain how universal design for learning (UDL) can benefit ALL students.
2.Discuss the underlying principles of differentiated instruction (DI) and universal design for learning (UDL). Provide a rationale for the continued or simultaneous use of both approaches when instructing students with specific disabilities.
Part 2:Module 4: Assignment 1 -- Research Paper
students are to select a topic about consultative collaboration from the list below, conduct research on it, and write a research paper documenting their findings. Select a topic from the following list:
The role of communication in a consultative-collaborative model
The importance of problem solving in a consultative-collaborative model
Resolving difficult interactions with other educators in collaborative consultation
Ethical issues that may arise in a consultative-collaborative model
Complete the following steps:
After selecting the research topic, conduct the research. Find a minimum of six articles from peer reviewed journals that address the topic.
Synthesize the ideas found during research. It is advised that you also find sources of information which may not be in total agreement with your position and include these in the paper.
Write a paper of at least five pages (not counting the cover and References pages) synthesizing the research.
Before finalizing the paper, edit it for any grammar, punctuation, or spelling errors, and ensure it is formatted according to the APA (6th ed.) standard.
Part 3: Module 4: Assignment 2 -- UDL and Differentiation Article Critique
Within this module, you learned about Universal Design for Learning (UDL) and gained additional insights about how to differentiate instruction. It has been suggested that UDL is one way of providing differentiation to students. To further explore these two ideas in relation to one another, read the following article that is available to you from the Barry Library:
van Garderen, D., & Whittaker, C. (2006). Planning differentiated, multicultural instruction for secondary inclusive classrooms. Teaching Exceptional Children, 38(3), 12-20.

After reading the article, compare and contrast it to information you learned throughout this module. Write a one page paper (not including the cover and References pages) to present your findings.
