This slide presentation outlines a proposed elementary school that utilizes Universal Design for Learning (UDL) principles. It describes how the school would be structured, with separate hallways for each grade and accessibility for all students. Classrooms would employ differentiated seating and grouping to meet different students' needs, and co-teachers and aides would be present in each room. Lessons would incorporate multiple modalities and activities to engage diverse learners, and assessments would allow for various forms of knowledge expression. The goal is to accommodate all students and maximize their ability to progress through individualized instruction.

3. FOCUSING ON THE FUTURE OF OUR
STUDENTS WITH UNIVERSAL DESIGNED
LEARNING
• Living in the digital age, teaching has
become more than a traditional lecture
and textbook. There have become many
ways to teach our children. Universal
design learning reflects an awareness of
the unique nature of each learner and the
need to accommodate differences
creating learning experiences that suit the
learner and maximize his or her ability to
progress. It helps us as teachers
differentiate our instruction through
carefully articulated goals and
individualized materials, methods, and
assessments.
(Rose & Meyer 2002)

4. THE NEW GENERATION OF UNIVERSAL
DESIGN LEARNING
• Representation of
information in multiple
formats and media.
• Provides multiple pathways
for students’ action and
expression.
• To provide multiple ways to
engage students’ interest and
motivation.

5. STRUCTURE OF THE
CAMPUS
• The elementary grades will be separated in
hallways. Each grade K-5th will have their
own hallway.
• Students will be able to enter at the front of
the building and exit through the front.
There will be accessibility for any disabled
children on the ramp located at the front
door. There will emergency exits located
through the building.
• Everyone will have access to all specials and
PE.
• Rooms will be set up accordingly to the
structure of UDL learning and will follow the
laws that each child is given an equal chance
to learn without being left behind.

6. CLASS STRUCTURE
• Classes rooms will have differentiated seating
so that it gives the student an option.
• Children will be grouped by ability and learning
styles.
• The groups will be subject to integrate giving
students a different opportunity to learn from
their peers and find how they each learn from
each other in different ways.
• There will be small group tables for students
who need more one to one teaching.
• Students will have access to supports and
scaffolds that are needed to help them.

7. PROFESSIONAL PERSONNEL
• There will be two teachers in each
classroom co-teaching together.
This allows more instruction and
allows collaboration between two
teachers to find ways to engage and
motivate students.
• There will also be at least one
teacher’s aide in each classroom.
• Teachers will be required to follow
the guidelines from TEA while
implementing a differential learning
environment.

8. INSTRUCTION
• Instruction ill be taught with multiple learning
agendas
• For students who need more one to one
instruction, small groups will be available.
• Hands on learners will have stations and the
option to pick five out of the ten activities to
complete and present to the class.
• Parallel teaching will also be used to get
students involved in a debate on two point of
views and discuss which one is best.
• There will be many different techniques in the
classroom used to meet the needs of each
individual learner.

9. GENERAL CURRICULUM
• Subjects that will be taught are
reading/ELA
• Math
• Science
• Social studies
Students will be taught on their educational
needs and individual differences on the
TEKS of the curriculum
This will be addressed through using
multiple teaching strategies and observing
my students. Making strength and weakness
sheets and using the data to better meet the
goals of each student’s individual needs.

10. TECHNOLOGY
• Students will be able to use
the ipads, computers,
headset stations, laptops, and
any other technology brought
into the room.
• The interactive whiteboard
will be the main focus in
instruction. It gives the kids a
since of play while learning.

11. ASSESSMENT
• Students will be asked questions
prior to the unit to see what they
already know or don’t know
• Teachers will then focus on what they
are struggling with and then review
what they already know.
• There will be multiple check-ins
through animation, presentation,
text, speech, and multi-media
presentations to assess knowledge.
This will allow each learner to express
their knowledge the way they learn it.
