Rockford Academic Practices (RAP)

For this module, you will look at Universal Design for Learning (UDL) and how this important teaching and learning strategy works to engage all of our diverse students.

First - watch this video overview of UDL from the CAST website UDL from the CAST.ORG website. Watch a couple of the others that show UDL in practice that show UDL in practice in the playlist.  In addition, the Province of Alberta Canada has a short, and well done, video on UDL.

Next - do a quick self-assessment on the "How Do You Teach" checklist.

Finally - review some of the tools at the HIAT UDL Tool Finder, look at a couple of UDL-model texts at the CAST UDL Book Builder.  What are you noticing about how the materials are represented?
