Universal Design for Learning in Unique
Universal Design for Learning (UDL) is a framework that helps teachers design lessons that work for everyone. Instead of waiting for barriers to appear, UDL encourages teachers to build options into their lessons from the start. The result is simple: no one is left behind, and every student can access the same opportunities in a way that suits them.
Unique is built on this principle. It supports inclusive, accessible learning for classes with varied needs, interests and paces.
In addition, Unique’s Teacher’s Books include teacher‑facing UDL tips with quick, easy‑to‑apply ideas that spark reflection, encourage critical thinking and support formative assessment.
How Unique brings the three UDL
principles to life:
Engagement
Engagement is about tapping into what motivates learners and helping them connect the lesson to their own lives.
Student agency and choice
Choice is clearly scaffolded and incorporated into the Student's Book and Workbook. This simplifies classroom management and means teachers can give options with no extra preparation or planning..
Motivation
In Unique, the learning situation page includes choice in pathways and project formats to foster student agency and motivation.
Global Schools
With Global Schools, your class can connect with schools around the world, building real connections through English and developing global awareness and social connection.
