In this post a middle school teacher shares a US history project where Common Core standards are aligned with the three Universal Design for Learning (UDL) Principles.
She discusses the process of creating the lesson and states:
"UDL is not about causing change. It’s about looking for natural connections to what one is already doing that can help diversify instruction. It’s about raising our own awareness and turning up our reflective skills so we become accustomed to thinking about how lessons align with the needs of diverse learners."
Within the post she includes the Purpose of the Lesson, the Process, Assessment and a table where she provides the Common Core Standards that were addressed, the lesson activities, and the specific UDL Principles that were addressed.
If you are new to UDL here is a short explanation from the post:
"The aim of a UDL lesson is to create (1) resourceful, knowledgeable learners through multiple means of representation; (2) strategic, goal-directed learners through multiple means of engagement; and (3) purposeful, motivated learners as a result of multiple means of expression."
