EDLD+5364+-+Week+3+-+Reflection+-+UDL+Lesson

I am a 3rd and 4th grade Special Education Inclusion Teacher and my team, and I selected 7th grade Science for the group project. Since we had already selected the content area, I decided to create a UDL Lesson for 7th grade Science. I had to do quite a bit of research in order to be prepared to create a lesson for the grade level and subject. I had to review and assess the TEKS for 7th grade science and make sure I included the three networks in my lesson. It forced me to address how the students will gather all the information and facts. I had to make a decision and choose a project or product the students could produce and develop the assignment and assessment to be used. It was especially important that I selected something that would motivate the students on the importance of the lesson.

I found the information on the CAST website [] to be extremely helpful and informative. It shows several ways that teachers can use it for differentiating instructions for all learners. It also can be a great resource tools for teachers to help them meet the needs of all their students. It had useful information for teachers and administrators. It demonstrated the importance of integrating technology in the classrooms. It had lessons showing how to address individual student's educational levels and differences in order for them to be successful learners.

This was an extremely valuable week for me and I am so excited about sharing the website with my coworkers and friends.
