The CAPMSE design team worked collaboratively to build a K-8 math and science lesson repository. The design team vetted lessons based on the Universal Design for Learning framework. The intention of the repository was to have ready-to-use k-8 math and science lessons that were accessible in a distance learning environment, a digital environment, and/or an in-person classroom setting. 

Analyzing lessons and recognizing barriers, the need for UDL was critical to optimize learning for all students, especially in the mist of the pandemic. Utilizing the UDL framework, lessons were redesigned and became the skeletal frame to guide the learning in the lessons.

Use this presentation as a tool to aide people in creating universally designed experiences. It goes through the foundations UDL is built upon: student variability, context, clear goals with loose means, and removing instructional barriers. There is a corresponding youtube video that shows an older verison of this presentation. This would be a helpful tool for districts without a UDL facilitator or easy access to training who are looking for ways to get started in their design right away. 

This is a presentation and poster template that allows teams and individuals to storyboard lessons and units utlizing the backwards design described by CAST. Use the slide deck and pdfs either as digital versons or as printed resources for teams to discover how to lesson plan with UDL in mind.
