Having read several articles and viewed videos about UDL, it’s time to apply your knowledge. How do you see UDL fitting into your instruction? Where would it have the greatest impact? 

Learning Menus and Choice Boards are different structures for embedding UDL concepts into your instruction. Use these two resources to learn about using Learning Menus and Choice Boards.

Create Choice Board for a Kindergarten new lesson or unit study that incorporates the three components of UDL for instruction. These are not choice boards for a review or for follow-up independent work. 

Also be specific in the choices. Don’t say “read a book”. Instead say something like “read The History of Baseball, pp 1- 15”

Guidelines:

Think about… 

1. What upcoming subject would be appropriate for a learning menu or choice board? 

1. What standards are you going to be teaching soon? 

2. What are the various needs of your students…engagement, representation, action? 

3. What resources are available? 

4. Would a menu or choice board be better for your class? 

Do…

Step 1:   choice board that includes at least three choices for each component of UDL. Remember, this is to be used for teaching new information, not as a review or follow-up for independent work. 

In the heading of your menu or board, include a title, grade level, standard(s).

Step 2: summary that identifies how each part of the menu or board supports the three components of UDL. For example, if you offer resource X, explain which component of UDL it meets.
