Implementing UDL!

Now that I've become more familiar with UDL and it's principles, reflected on my own weaknesses and strengths in my UDL lessons, and watched a video example in the previous post on how UDL is actually used in a classroom, I found this amazing tab on the udl center's site: http://www.udlcenter.org/implementation.

This tab on the site helps you build implementation skills.

It includes
-a new book you can purchase that explains implementing UDL into your lessons and classroom.
-a UDL checklist, which is the one that I used to assess my own lessons in the previous posts.
- a downloadable UDL Wheel.

The wheel is a great resource in itself! You can print it out and stick it wherever your lesson plans are! It's so easy to follow and have right at your fingertips!

UDL implementation is a process of change that tends to occur in a recursive, continuously improving cycle of learning and progressing.

The graphic below offers another way of thinking about the UDL implementation process that highlights its iterative, continuously improving aspects.


By also checking out this tab it led to read about advocacy for UDL and how Maryland just adopted UDL! Exciting to know and learn that other states are putting forth fresh ideas and are interested in taking education to the next level!
