On the Cast website there
is another area that is interesting and a good resource for educators trying to
implement UDL (Universal
Design for Learning) into their classroom and curriculum. It is within the Cast “Teaching Every Student”
section under “Getting Started with UDL” and it is a tool called: Curriculum
Barriers Finder. This tool allows an
educator to take a case study on the site and learn about potential curriculum
barriers; it allows the educator to compare materials/methods, the student qualities
(either weak or strong), and the potential barriers / missed
opportunities.
For you to get an idea of what I’m talking about, here is a potential
curriculum barrier using the type of student I work with in the special
education program within a typical reading comprehension classroom:
I encourage all of you to go to the site and download the
Curriculum Barriers Template and use it to find potential curriculum barriers
for the students in your classroom.
