A Great New Website!
I promise, learning about UDL gets better! We have amazing websites like this one to guide us through it. Hooray for technology! Yes, we are still discussing UDL. The more you practice with it, the more you will use it. Earlier we talked about what UDL is and I showed you some good tools to help you along. Well, here is another.
PAL- I've never heard of it before today. It stands for Planning for All Learners. According to this website, "PAL applies UDL to planning and developing curricula in ways that promote access, participation, and progress in the general education curriculum for all learners." ("Udl toolkits ;," )
There also is a "PAL Toolkit that provides specific planning steps, guidance, mentoring, model lessons, tools, templates, resources, and links to other educators using the PAL Model." ("Udl toolkits ;," )
I read over the site and it talks about how PAL is a great tool that brings together the general education teachers, special education teachers and other specialists. I love that it has everyone on the same page. They come together to focus on the curriculum for the student with disabilities. I wonder if some schools require this or if we as teachers have to start it on our own. The site helps you out with Setting Goals, Assessing Students, Applying UDL to lesson plans and teaching the lessons.
Have a great day!
