  UDL Toolkits: Planning for All Learners (PAL)    

                                                         

                 1. Planning for All Learners applies UDL to planning and developing curricula in ways that promote access, participation, and progress in the general education curriculum for all learners (Cast, 2002). The Planning for All Learners Toolkit  provides specifics on how to plan, guide, mentor, model lessons, and select resources.  The toolkits were said to be used during face-to-face training sessions to support follow-ups, or when training others.  Toolkits are always good to have to improve in the over instruction of the lesson.  The toolkit has multifaceted ways to affectively reach all learners.  The toolkit would be useful in my eyes as a frame of reference of how to appropriately go about instruction and for resources if I felt as though the current ones were not effective enough.

        1.  The site is similar to the other sites in informing you about what UDL is ( the basics), the curriculum, guidelines etc.  Something different that I notice was the section for advocacy.  The advocacy link provides you articles about states pushing for UDL.  I find it useful in understanding the legal aspects behind UDL to fully understand how serious of a cause it made to be as a new teacher.  Being kept up to date with the general framework is imperative for curriculum and instruction.   http://www.udlcenter.org/aboutudl/udlguidelines
