apps4Stages - home Universal Design for Learning (UDL) - Everyone Can Learn - Center for Excellence in Disabilities Universal Design involves the widest range of people's abilities, to the greatest extent possible. Universal Design for Learning (UDL) is the design of instruction for all student use, without need for adaptation or specialized design. Teachers designing UDL classrooms should consider products and environments with a variety of characteristics that enhance all students' learning. The Center for Applied Special Technology (CAST) develops innovative technology based on the principles of UDL. What should educators know about UDL and their classroom? UDL classrooms can help reduce the amount of "special" modifications common in inclusive classrooms. UDL is based on nine principles that can make any classroom more inclusive for all students. Equal use: Designed to be useful to and accessible by students with diverse abilities for learning. * UDL does not mean a "one-size-fits-all" learning system, but is flexible to meet the needs of a diverse classroom.

Lisa's Lingo: A UDL Classroom in Action Recently, a teacher, who I have much admiration for, asked me if I could share a UDL lesson with her. This was when I realized that, even those who seem to know, don't really understand UDL. So let's see what a UDL classroom in action looks like. UDL provides a blueprint for creating instructional goals, methods, materials, and assessments that work for everyone--not a single, one-size-fits-all solution but rather flexible approaches that can be customized and adjusted for individual needs." UDL is not a lesson plan, it is a program. Here is a typical day in my classroom. 8:45 - 9:10 - We unpack and listen to announcements. 9:10 - 10 - Math time. 10 - 10:45 - Reading time. 10:45 - 11 - Snack time. 11 - 12 - Social Studies. 12 - 1 - Language Arts - Sign of the Beaver projects are almost finished. Lunch time! 2 - 3 - Writing - During my mini-lesson, I write the steps to a personal essay. That's a typical day. I have not planned to use all these tools. This is a UDL classroom.
Sound Project 2014 Join us, won't you, for a national colloaboration on integrating music into the classroom culture. SP14's project mission is to produce music compilations for classroom use. Specifically, we're looking for songs from FreePlayMusic that will help students become more productive. Music Central Links: For more info on FPM, check out the Free Play Music page or watch the FPM how-to video. Production Music Here's a two-age PDF that helps to clarify the music we're trying to find on FPM. SP14 Edition #00 [PDF 2 pages - 227KB] Collaborative Effort As opposed to one teacher trying to find 100 effective songs, it makes more sense if twenty teachers submit a five-song playlist. SP14 Edition Downloads Just click on the links in the Editions nav column to the right and you'll be able to download each edition. Submit a Playlist Send me an email--soundproject2014[at]gmail.com--with the track title, duration, and volume title for each song in your list.

I like this website because its very media and content rich. On top of having a virtual walkthrough on a UDL complient classroom. On top of that I like how they creativily used a story about a teacher on a misson to be UDL complient as a "story: that carries throughout each topic. by hassankariem Nov 15
