Are the means embedded?

Students will demonstrate competence in the general skills and strategies of the

writing process.  

Assessment• Must match goal• Is there room for flexibility in the way

students are assessed?• Look at options for assessing goals based

upon student learning differences.• Use formative and summative

assessments to measure student progress

Methods: Questions to ask…

• Which strategies will you choose to teach the content?

• How can you vary the teaching strategies to meet the needs of every student in your class?

• Are there any high/low tech strategies or supports that will allow further access to the material for students?

Materials/Media• Should be flexible and allow all students

access to the information• Should provide some level of student

choice• Take into account learning preferences

and ability of students

IF you were teaching the writing process…

Lesson Plan Activity

Review the lesson plan provided• Could the lesson be more accessible?

How?• Which tools could you utilize to improve

the lesson?

Applying the UDL Framework to Your Lesson Plan

• Use the PAL process to create a unit & lesson utilizing the UDL framework.

• You may choose to work in content groups/heterogeneous groups or individually

• Utilize the wheel or app to access resources

• Reflection

Next Steps!• Bring materials for unit/lesson planning• Goal Tomorrow: Create a unit for the

beginning of the year. Create one lesson plan for that unit.
