UDL Reflection

Universal Design for Learning Checklist

As I reflect on Universal Design for Learning and my lesson, it is encouraging to me to see how I strive for equal opportunity among all of my learners.  It is also interesting to see where there may be barriers in my lesson for one reason or another.  I found that the most barriers in this particular lesson were in the areas of "Providing Multiple Means of Action and Expression."  I will modify my lesson so that I can provide multiple means of action and expression for my students.  It is imperative that as teachers plan their lessons/objectives, we take into account all aspects of student learning: the child's background knowledge, educational opportunities, different skill levels (whether one is gifted or if the student has special needs), and of course HOW the child learns best.
