Teaching Every Student
- The site goes in depth of how to go about utilizing UDL in the classroom. Teachers are provided with various materials that all aid in learning how to use UDL affectively in the classroom. First, you are provided with links to learn more about UDL. The links range on how to use assistive technology in the classroom to lesson plans. I thought it was good to have activities and lesson plans available to see how I compare and contrast to the style of UDL by evaluating the lesson plan. http://www.cast.org/teachingeverystudent/
- Lesson:
- Provided below is a link to a UDL lesson plan. The lesson plan gives a good explanation of how to instruct within each section. The traditional approach is also provided. I thought it was useful to have both approaches available to understand the similarities and differences .
"SO THAT'S HOW YOU ASSESS!"

I think the comic picture of assessment says it all. You see all the different types of learners (fish, seal, monkey, penguin, elephant etc) and the teacher says the test is for them all to climb the tree. Well that is impossible for the fish or other animals to complete without some help. This explains how important it is to reach the needs of all students. I really love this picture because it is so true about teaching and assessing students. I am glad you used the picture in your blog because it shows how important UDL is to the learners.
