UD & UDL Examples
Posted on: September 10, 2012
I have to explain as I explored my work environment that I work district-wide and I travel to each but my main office is at the Special Services office of the district. The office are connected to an alternative program, computer based classes. The building use to be an old church and was originally purchased to be demolished and build a Tech Alternative High School. So need less to say many things are needed in order to be Equitable use and Flexibility in use in general from doors, lighting, and access. If its not possible in a computer, it’s probably not available.
But on the contrary the schools(5 and 1 alternative) especially the new ones are built with a more UD concepts and the older schools have made changes needed at a slow pace. Because of curriculum changes all regular high school have freshmen, start last year all students have netbooks with digital texts, text to speech, and links with supports. Schools use all of those including scaffold, variety instructional methods, smart boards, and many more. It has been a slow process but at least now UDL has become expected, as programs are built and curriculum is developed it now being considered. Now… Information is being presented in different ways, students can express what they know differently, and student’s are getting engaged.

dgarcia30,
I found your blog concerning UDL to be quite interesting as well as informative. It is nice to hear about how the evolution of the UDL techniques have had a major and positive impact on the students.
