23. Reflect upon this goal: Integrate and evaluate content presented in diverse media and formats, including visually and quantitatively, as well as in words What does it look like to integrate? How will content be evaluated? What will success look like (assessment)? Share, model, discuss with students.

24. Beware of secondary goals!

25. Consider Variability by using the UDL Guidelines

26. Think about a lesson: UDL Guidelines What is already present & works well? Anticipate barriers, challenges

27. Select assessment: Align to goal Formative or summative?

28. Methods & Materials Flexible and accessible to reach goal Multiple means of representation Multiple means of action and expression Multiple means of engagement CAST 2012
