Framing lessons through the lens of the Universal Design for Learning isn't about more time so much as it is about more strategic thinking, says Elizabeth Stein.
Beth Dichter's insight:
In this post a middle school teacher shares a US history project where Common Core standards are aligned with the three Universal Design for Learning (UDL) Principles. She discusses the process of creating the lesson and states: Within the post she includes the Purpose of the Lesson, the Process, Assessment and a table where she provides the Common Core Standards that were addressed, the lesson activities, and the specific UDL Principles that were addressed. If you are new to UDL here is a short explanation from the post: "The aim of a UDL lesson is to create (1) resourceful, knowledgeable learners through multiple means of representation; (2) strategic, goal-directed learners through multiple means of engagement; and (3) purposeful, motivated learners as a result of multiple means of expression."
