The Class Learning Profile Template supports you in creating a learning profile for the students in your class. Understanding the qualities, including strengths, needs, and interests, that students bring to the curriculum is an important part of building a UDL classroom. You can download it in Microsoft Word or pdf Format, to use on screen or in print.
The template has three parts:
1. The Model Template is an example of a class learning profile in the context of a science unit on researching different aspects of a flower. Students' strengths, needs, and preferences/interests most relevant for this curriculum unit are listed in the table to provide an overview of student characteristics.
2. Examples of Student Qualities offers examples of the kinds of strengths, needs, and interests or preferences that fall into the different brain networks. These are examples only, designed to help you understand what kinds of traits fall within the domain of each brain network.
3. The Blank Template offers structured support for creating a class profile for your students, within the context of particular curricular goals.
This template was published by ASCD in Teaching Every Student in the Digital Age: Universal Design for Learning (Rose & Meyer, April, 2002).
