CAST's UDL guidelines emphasize three principles in order to help instructors align their teaching with the three brain networks identified as critical for learning within UDL research. The three principles are:

Provide multiple means of student engagement that tap into learners’ interests, challenge them appropriately and motivate them to learn.
Provide multiple means of representation that give learners a variety of ways to acquire information and build knowledge.
Provide multiple means of student action and expression that provides learners with alternatives for demonstrating what they have learned.
