Universal Design Concept Map

I was most taken with the three principles that put the student's ability to learn at the heart of the dialog. After a long and strange career in communications and marketing, I've worked in many capacities with the three principles that emphasize the one-to-one connection of recognition, affective engagement and expression (both of teacher and student, marketer and audience, parent and child, etc.). These are central to awareness and persuasion which is what, at the end of the day, the teacher wishes to convey. Importantly, these three principles rest on the conviction that the person learning comes to the process with individual abilities, inclinations and information incorporation styles. As long as we respect the students, we have a start to develop an effective dialog.
