Great new 5 minute video created by Kirsten Wiens in Sooke School district introduces UDL. Uses metaphor of planning a dinner party.

This is the second version of the UDL Guidelines. Click on each to learn more and link to large lists of supporting research.

Recommended if you're just learning about UDL. Great one-hour presentation by UDL master of metaphor David Rose. In this presentation, David uses music to introduce principles of UDL. Get your Kleenex ready because the ending is a real tear-jerker!

Nice poetry unit by Fairview UDL team organized by Gardner's intelligences. On an NID the staff got together and brainstormed these ideas for a school-wide poetry unit. This school uses Gardner's Multiple Intelligences for student profiles. I like to use this example in conjunction with the Judith Katz example of an assessment done using Gardner's Inteligences.

Patin's UDL site has link to Dave Edyburn's Tic Tac Toe page and Maureen's TKAM wiki.

Have you ever wondered what a simile was or how to create one? Watch our video to learn all about them.<br /><br />Created by students in a Grade 6/7 class. Created by a group of students in Comox Valley in Jaki Braidwood's class.

Check out the Joyce and Showers (2003) table on page 30. Incredible overwhelming evidence for the peer coaching model.

Fantastic 17 minute video by Tod Rose at Harvard describing how designing for average designs for no one. Uses an example from the Air Force and applies it to education. I usually play the first 6 minutes of this video in a UDL presentation.

Faye Brownlie's new book about the Learner Support Model. UDL philosophies definitely underlie her thinking although the three main principles of UDL she outlines are not the 3 main principles usually cited by CAST. Many great practical examples. Includes a Class Review template that many teachers find useful.

Alberta resource for creating and building on a detailed learner profile which transitions from elementary through high school. Includes questionnaires/graphic organizers for a variety of students, parents, teachers.

Great book by Jennifer Katz is based on 16 years of teaching experience. She describes her 3 block model of UDL implementation using many concrete examples from her own teaching experience. Jennifer uses Gardiner's Intelligences for student profiles and there is an example of a report card done with Gardiner's intelligences on p. 154-155. Not sure if this is UDL in a traditional sense but certainly many aspects would fit.

Wiki I created to document what's happening as I work with a group of grade 8 teachers who want to help students acquire more tools and skills (both high and low tech) for use in high school. Based on Ira Socol's Toolbelt Theory.

A long-awaited opinion by David Rose et. al. on whether technology is necessary for the implementation of UDL. Describes a primary hands-on science license that meets UDL guidelines but does not use any technology.

BC UDL Project Leader Mallory Burton interviews Birchland Elementary team leader Anita Strang. Anita describes profound change at Birchland in their UDL implementation

New online book by UDL co-founder David Rose and others at CAST on UDL. Requires creating a free account to log in. This book replaces the former book Teaching Every Student in the Digital Age. If you're going to learn more about UDL I would recommend learning it from the people who originally developed the idea rather than from second-hand sources who tend to see UDL through the lens of their own preferred practices.

SET-BC's UDL resource. Great video section. There are also online modules on getting to know more about your students, goals, etc. Includes a section on UDL-compatible practices such as inquiry learning and backwards design.

I created this wiki to support inclusion of SET-BC students in the regular curriculum grades 4/5 but starting to branch into grade 6/7.

Made this wiki for a workshop I give called "Goodbye Google". The goal of he workshop is to provide teachers with a toolkit of "go to" websites that will save them time in finding good online activities and resources.

Recommended if you're just learning about UDL. Article by David Rose explains how the GPS provides more differentiation than most classroom curricula.

Instead of listing all the different ways a task deviates from the target, the single-point rubric simply describes the target in a single column of traits.
