Graphic organizers come in many types and have been widely researched for their effectiveness in improving learning outcomes for students with and without disabilities. This paper examines the research on educational applications of graphic organizers in grades K–12 and explores points of intersection with Universal Design for Learning (UDL), a curriculum design approach intended to lower the barriers that traditionally limit access to information and learning for many students. UDL is a theoretical approach that is based on research on the brain and effective teacher practices. UDL provides a framework for seizing the potential of digital technologies, including digital versions of graphic organizers, and using it to make the curriculum more flexible and supportive of diverse learners.\nThis paper begins with an introduction to graphic organizers (a definition, a sampling of different types, and a consideration of their curriculum applications) and a discussion of the research evidence for their effectiveness. The literature review addresses important questions about graphic organizers that are relevant to classroom practice, including whether graphic organizers are beneficial to students with disabilities and what instructional context makes them most effective. In the second part of the paper the discussion transitions to UDL applications of graphic organizers. This section develops an understanding of UDL and proceeds to identify ways that graphic organizers can support UDL at both the theoretical and teacher practice levels. The paper concludes with general guidelines for UDL implementation and a list of web resources that provide further information.\nDefinition\nA graphic organizer is a visual and graphic display that depicts the relationships between facts, terms, and/or ideas within a learning task. Graphic organizers are also sometimes referred to as knowledge maps, concept maps, story maps, cognitive organizers, advance organizers, or concept diagrams.\nTypes of Graphic Organizers\nGraphic organizers come in many different forms, each one best suited to organizing a particular type of information. The emergence of digital graphic organizers enable users to alternate between a text outline and graphic organizer view of the same information. The following examples are merely a sampling of the different types and uses of graphic organizers.\nA Descriptive or Thematic Map, as shown above, works well for mapping generic information, and particularly well for mapping hierarchical relationships.\nOrganizing a hierarchical set of in","cbCaimgMjUlx3bea","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaimgMjUlx3bea","docx",803200,8,32,"English","en",105,"# Introduction\n# Definition\n# Types of Graphic Organizers\n## Applications Across Curriculum Areas","[{\"question\":\"What is a graphic organizer, according to the report?\",\"answer\":\"A graphic organizer is a visual display that depicts relationships among facts, terms, and/or ideas within a learning task.
