The next step in building my skills for mastering the UDL Guidelines for instruction involves selecting a sample lesson plan from my collection and reviewing it with the UDL Guidelines to complete a pre-assessment checklist. The checklist (shown below) coordinates with the principles of UDL. I assessed an emergency lesson plan I had on file that uses a book to teach history and literacy surrounding the American revolution.
I found many weaknesses in my lesson where the format and instructional techniques I chose to use did not allow for multiple means of recognition, engagement, and expression. As I was reviewing each step of my lesson and considering the different guidelines I was inspired with so many ideas for altering my lesson for the post-assessment.
Nina, I too also found my weak spots in my lesson, based on UDL principles. I hope to change this in the future - and I hope to keep UDL in mind as I plan lessons down the road. Thanks for sharing!
