Assessment
Take some time now to answer the following questions. Please note that the IRIS Center does not collect your Assessment responses. If this is a course assignment, you should turn them in to your professor using whatever method he or she requires. If you have trouble answering any of the questions, go back and review the Perspectives & Resources pages in this module.
Briefly describe Universal Design for Learning. Make sure to include and describe the three principles of UDL.
Next week, Mr. Schlotzsky will begin a chapter on colonial America. First, the students will take their textbooks home and read the chapter for homework. Then, Mr. Schlotzsky will lecture, write notes on the whiteboard, and give his students handouts. To assess their knowledge, he will ask his students to use the Internet to research colonial America in greater depth and to give an oral presentation.
Goal: Students will read the textbook chapter, listen and take notes in class, conduct research, and give an oral presentation.
Help Mr. Schlotzsky evaluate the components of his instruction and remove barriers that may create roadblocks to students’ learning.
Rewrite the goal so that it adheres to the notion of “clear goals, multiple means.”
For the remaining instructional components (items b-d), use the table below to help Mr. Schlotzsky incorporate the three UDL principles.
In the “Instructional Elements” column, list the elements Mr. Schlotzsky is using for each component (e.g., lecture, oral presentation).
In the “Barriers” column, list barriers for each instructional element.
In the “Removing Barriers” column, suggest ways Mr. Schlotzsky can remove these barriers.

Imagine you are a colleague of Mr. Schlotzsky and you have been incorporating UDL principles into your learning experiences for several years. To help him transition into incorporating these principles, what small change would you suggest he do first to get started? Explain why you would recommend this.
Turn a lesson that does not incorporate UDL principles into a UDL-based lesson. Choose either of the options below.
Option 1: If you have previously or are currently teaching, select a lesson plan that you have used. In the table below:
Record information about each instructional component of the lesson plan in the column labeled “Lesson Plan Without UDL.”
Revise the lesson plan to incorporate UDL principles and record that information in the column titled “Lesson Plan With UDL.”
