UDL Application

Application: Model Let’s look at our 9 grid from yesterday on Brendan and complete the UDL chart together based on a HS science lesson about atoms. I have added some accommodation resources for you to consider as we look for the UDL solutions for accommodations and modificaitons for this case.

DISCUSS: Using your resources and what you have learned about UDL accommodations and modifications, think about the chart for Brendan and decide how to fill out the chart for this science lesson plan. Each table will take a different row on the chart.

A chart for multiple students… Let’s take a look at how this would look for multiple students This is an example of how the chart should look when you turn in your signature assignment

Application: Your Turn

Your turn… You and a partner… Based on your lesson plan (look at both plans that have been brought and decide which one will be the best to use) and the case study from the last session, fill out a UDL chart. Use the accommodations/modification resources provided to think about the student and the material and lesson and choose accommodations that really will apply. You will submit the lesson plan with the chart attached to Bb.
