Model Two:
Group into a UDL Class Profile
The Class Profile Maker enables you to automatically transfer qualities of individual
students, grouped into the three brain networks. Combining the notable strengths,
needs, and interests of all of your students into a single document provides
an overview of potential barriers in the curriculum as well as potential opportunities
for offering alternative methods, materials, and assessments. For example tapping
into a student’s exceptional talent or a passionate interest is a critical
teaching opportunity.
Here we offer a sample class profile, with names of students and notable characteristics.
