InclusionEach student is unique, and today's classrooms are especially diverse. This diversity spans race, national or ethnic origin, socioeconomic status, religion, gender, sexuality, ability, appearance, and age. I have more specific considerations and resources for the diversity of students I'll meet in the drop-down under Inclusion.
By using Universal Design for Learning (UDL) principles in my classroom, I aim to celebrate diversity and help my students learn together. Here's a quick summary of UDL. |
ResourcesThese are my go-to sources of information when considering how to apply UDL and differentiation in my classroom.
Making a Difference - Alberta Education This resource is a synthesis of current research and an introduction to the theory and practice of differentiated instruction within an Alberta context. National Center on Universal Design for Learning This site has teacher-friendly examples and resources that illustrate each of the UDL checkpoints. Exploring these examples and resources not only helps to clarify what is meant by each of the checkpoints but also gives teachers ideas of ways to implement UDL in their classrooms. |
