UDL leads us to make adjustments for learner differences for all students, not just those with disabilities. Adapted from the CAST UDL guidelines
- 14. Universal Design ForLearning 14 UDL also encourages us to look at the development and use of curriculum materials. Are they varied and diverse? Do they include digital and online resources, rather than centering instruction on a single text book? Adapted from the CAST UDL guidelines

- 21. UDL Checklist 21 The lessonplan form should focus on UDL instruction, including goals, methods, assessment and materials. Provide information in multiple formats and media (Recognition Networks) Included Not Included Barrier Provide multiple examples, Show the range of examples, provide examples and counter-examples. Represent information in multiple media and formats (e.g., text version of book, online or digital resources) Highlights critical features (e.g., teacher tone of voice, marker underline, etc.) Provide supports for limited background knowledge, and establish a context for learning Provide multiple pathways for students’ action, expression (Strategic Networks) Included Not Included Barrier Provide flexible models of skilled performance Provide ongoing, relevant feedback (e.g., (a) questions and answers in classroom) Provide flexible opportunities for demonstrating skill. (e.g., written, oral , or visual presentation, explanations, word process) Provide novel problems to solve (e.g., unique problems outside the initial instructional set to promote generalization and transfer) Provide multiple ways to engage students (Affective Networks) Included Not Included Barrier Offer choices of content and tools (e.g., choice of books to study literature) Provide adjustable levels of challenge: (e.g., range of materials at different reading difficulties) Offer choices of rewards Offer choices of learning context (option to work in study carrel v. open classroom, student use headphones)

- #7 UDL considers alternatives for every one when we think about the curriculum that we use the textbooks that would use they are generally one size fits all they are generally as we consider the bell curve supporting those individuals that fall in the highest point of that bell curve when we think about UDL we are we also need to consider the individuals our student learners one all ends of a continuum In Baltimore County and in many other districts designing curriculum that he’s infused with UDL from the beginning. As you think about your curriculum the lessons that you will be teaching many of those lessons many of the lead to the curriculum has been developed over the years and does not have the components of universal design imbedded.In Baltimore County meet our training curriculum writers to infuse UDL principles into the curriculum from the beginning so that we have the availability for access for everyone.
- #13 Interestingly, when we create an accommodation, a strategy for a small group of students, the results is generally a benefit for everyone.An example of this would be word prediction. Word prediction was developed for individuals with physical disabilities. It enabled them to reduce the number of key strokes when typing. This is where I ask who has used word prediction. Examples are cell phones as we typed words we begin with a water and end and ray room list of words pops up for us to choose from.
- #16 The first principle of UDL is multiple means of representation. This refers to the ways in which we presented the information to be learned, the process of instruction.Ask the participants to think about a lesson they will be giving in the near future. Ask them to share the different ways in which they prevent the information.
- #17 The second principle of UDL is engagement. This is just what it sounds like. This is how we capture and sustained the attention of our audience.Ask the audience to share out the ways in which they engage their students. This can be ways they group the students, present information or any other form of engagement.
- #19 Let’s move into making the connection between instruction and UDL.This slide simply highlights the fact that that instruction and UDL reinforce the consideration of learner preference as well as good teaching strategies.
- #20 Teachers look at instruction through content process and product. My view of UDL and instruction blends the two. We look at this slide, we see that through instruction we are looking at multiple choices of process and product. We do not have multiple choices of contents because we are told what curriculum we will be teaching.With regard to UDL we are looking at multiple means of representation how we teach the information where the process, Multiple means of engagement, and multiple means of expression or product.

- #22 If you download this file, you can type right onto it. There is a trick. When you type, the text is actually the same color as the background. You will need to highlight what you type and convert it to black.
- #23 When you click on a guideline you will see this window. When you click on the guideline it will expand indicating additional information.Look below and you will see the checkpoint indicator. Click on the checkpoint indicator to see examples of strategies and resources as well as a direct connection to UDL.
- #25 The UDL Tech tool kit is an amazing resource. When you click on this link you will find that in Baltimore County this center of the page does not show, however this sidebar has all of the information that you need. This new resource is hosted by an 80 specialist in Massachusetts. Karin locates resources to support UDL and all types of learners. This is an excellent resource to locating strategies to support your students.
