Homework: UDL/Curriculum Review
The purpose of this homework is to offer you the opportunity to apply what you know about UDL to instructional practice.
For this homework, you will observe content instruction and materials used during that instruction. You will then evaluate whether this instruction and accompanying materials/curricula were consistent with the UDL framework. (This observation can take place in your practicum setting). If you are not enrolled in a field experience, or have access to a classroom, please contact your professor. After observing this instruction, you will:
1. Assess the level of UDL built into instruction as well as the materials used during instruction including the curricula, technologies, and assessments.
2. Make recommendations for how to integrate the principles of UDL into the curriculum.
If you have questions about the format for your homework, please let me know.
Required Information
Materials/Curricula: Please describe materials used during instruction (teachers' manual lessons, chapters, books, technologies, assessments, etc.). When you describe these, provide the following if applicable: Content area, grade level, publisher, year of publication
UDL within Instruction: Describe how well the principles of UDL were evident within the instruction you observed and curricula/materials that you reviewed.
1. Describe the UDL implementation within instruction and the curricular materials. If there were no UDL features present, please indicate and explain this. Remember to include ALL three UDL principles.
2. Describe how you would implement this lesson using the UDL framework. Make sure you address all 3 UDL principles and language from the UDL guidelines and consider goals, methods, materials, and assessments.
HINTS: (I) You do not have to address all the checkpoints in the guidelines. Rather, address those that make sense for this lesson. (II) You must describe HOW materials are used within the UDL framework. For example, using the Interactive White Board or other technologies without description of how these are pedagogically beneficial does not count as UDL.
