UDL Lesson Plan

Purpose: To demonstrate & apply the three principals of UDL

This assignment is based on the previous modules information on UDL and thinking about students who are both gifted and challenged.

1. Review the student profile below:

Student profile:

The students strengths are oral language and language based activities like reading, interacting with other students, has a photographic memory so can memorize large amounts of information, a hard worker and has a great sense of humor.

Student has physical disability and ADHD but also considered Gifted and Talented/Learning Disabled.

The student has problems moving throughout the classroom, writing legibly and quickly, and problems with attention .

How will you modify the lesson plan to support his learning needs but allow for his strengths so he won’t get bored which can easily lead to distraction.

2. Review the attached very basic lesson plan: traditional lesson plan.doc

3.  Update the lesson based upon the three principals of Universal Design for Learning (UDL).

• Modify the lesson plan based upon the learning needs of the student (see profile above) using the 3 UDL principals.
• 3 changes total–one change for representation, one change for expression, and one change for engagement
• Make changes to  one or both days of the lesson and changes can be specific to materials, instruction or assessment.
• Be sure to use a different color font with the UDL concepts you are adding to the lesson
• Be sure to justify why you believe the UDL change would be appropriate for this student & how they apply to the UDL principal
