GAME Plan revisited

Overall, I have found some very interesting websites that are loaded with information on the universal design for learning. From these resources, I am trying to get the bigger picture on how to plan and implement the three principles of UDL in the classroom. I have found a few websites that give an overview of what a lesson plan should look like. I am a template person, so I will either need to continue my search for a template that fits my own personal needs and the needs of my district. If I can't find one, I will be creating one shortly that I hope will inspire other teachers in my district to enage in the use of UDL in the classroom.


I feel that I my plan is still very clear in the goals I have set and do not wish to make any plans on it for now. I did find it interesting that some of my own colleagues have no idea what UDL is or stands for. One thing I might want to add is spark the interest of my colleagues to get the ball rolling in our building. From this class and another class I am taking, I have learn a good deal of information about UDL. I think the most useful so far are the different strategies that can be used to present the information in various ways for your learner.

The only question I have about UDL is how are we going to make this work without teachers feeling the constraints of state testing to implement it into the classroom?
