If you are interested in learning more about universal design but finding the UDL guidelines or the entire concept of learning a new model overwhelming, this book is for you! If you are unsure of how to "highlight patterns and critical features" in daily practice or "maximize generalization" in lessons, this resource will help. Universal Design Daily translates the UDL principles, guidelines and considerations for you and provides ideas that are appropriate for both elementary and secondary classrooms.
This teacher-friendly guide was created to help educators learn more about universal design by exploring the practices associated with it. The book features:
- dozens of ideas for providing multiple methods of engagement (e.g., using movement/brain breaks, making "moments", differentiating demands)
- innovative ways to encourage multiple methods of action and expression (e.g., providing assessment choices, adding goal-setting activities, introducing assistive technology)
- unique suggestions for using multiple methods of representation (e.g., integrating popular film, introducing films and podcasts, creating costumes).
There are ideas for every single guideline and consideration (formerly checkpoint). This edition also includes suggestions for virtual classrooms and e-learning.
With 365 ideas to explore, you can focus on just one idea per day, flip through the pages at your own pace, or read the entire book in one sitting. You can use the book as a tool for weekly inspiration or you can keep it on your desktop as a lesson-planning reference tool.
No matter how you read it or use it, Universal Design Daily is sure to provide you with a wide range of creative and inspiring ideas for your diverse K-12 school or classroom.
