This paper examines studies that report results when the researchers applied methods for determining learner differences in an inclusive classroom; multiple methods of assessment for different learners in an inclusive classroom and methods for applying universal design for learning (UDL) to an inclusive classroom. The effects of these methods in students with disabilities in school settings. These results indicated that participants made significant improvements in their grades. In conclusion, we can say that we need to implement lesson plans in our schools to include all students in general education classrooms.

Universal Design for Learning
Ralabate (2011) points out that in the Higher Education Opportunity Act of 2008 defined the Universal Design for Learning as a scientifically valid framework for guiding educational practice.
In addition to this definition, the Center for Applied Special Technologies (CAST) elaborates a structure for UDL in different studies about …show more content…
Specifically, this paper will discuss studies about design, implementation and evaluation of a teacher professional development program aligned with the competence framework for inclusive teachers (Baldiris, Fabregat, Sampson, & Zervas, 2016). Also, how teachers are working in inclusion classrooms using different differentiated instruction to meet the needs of all the students. Then, the effects of introducing Universal Design for Learning and guidelines in a program for teachers that are in pre-service and practicing developing mixed methods of
