Activities

UDL Goal Setter
(http://www.cast.org/teachingeverystudent/tools/udlgoalsetter.cfm)
The UDL Goal Setter helps educators define clear goals for students, representing the core instructional purpose of the learning activity and supporting multiple pathways for achieving the goal. Although this tool was originally designed to be used for student populations, it is helpful in understanding principles of applying UDL to goal setting.

UDL Class Profile Maker
The UDL Class Profile Maker helps educators understand students' strengths, needs, and interests as individuals and as a group. The tutorial helps you learn to apply the UDL framework, and the tool and downloadable template provide structured supports for developing a learning profile for your class. Although this tool was originally designed to be used in understanding the diversity of classrooms, it is also helpful in recognizing the diversity of adult audiences.

General Resources

Characteristics of Diverse Audiences (doc)(pdf)
Case Stories: Case Stories, posted on the CAST web site, respond to critical dilemmas within general education classrooms. Each case pertains to access to the general education curriculum and how best to meet the needs of all learners, including those with disabilities. http://www.cast.org/teachingeverystudent/casestories/

Clearinghouse of Special Education Teaching Cases: This web site offers teaching cases that aide in the attainment of knowledge areas and competencies identified as necessary for teachers who work with children and youth with disabilities and their families. http://cases.coedu.usf.edu/default.htm

Model Lessons: The Model Units and Model Lessons on the CAST web site provide examples of applied UDL principles in curriculum design and implementation. http://www.cast.org/teachingeverystudent/ideas/
