Universal Design for Learning is a tool and resource that all educators should be aware of. The idea behind UDL is that we should find ways to make the curriculum fit our students, not the other way around. By using assistive technologies and creativity, we can modify lessons to meet all of our students needs.
Earlier this month, I created a lesson titled, Menu Math. What I thought was a good lesson, is becoming a great lesson with help of the UDL checklist. The checklist allows you to look critically at your lesson. "The UDL Guidelines are organized according to the three main principles of UDL (representation, action and expression, and engagement)." By responding to all three principals, the lesson becomes student focused.
Take a look at how I used it to identify the needs of my lesson.
