Wednesday Morning Reflection

June 25, 2008

Pages 56-61 in The Universally Designed Classroom discuss the goals, materials, methods, and assessment present in a universally designed curriculum.

In the next 25 minutes, please respond to one of the following two prompts in your blog today:

(1) Think back on your experiences as a student, at any level. Discuss the goals, materials, methods, and assessment of an experience. Do you feel it was a “universally designed curriculum”?

(2) To determine whether a curriculum is universally designed, we must examine the goals, materials, methods, and assessment of an experience. Select a type of education practitioner (classroom teacher, transition coordinator, vocational evaluator, other). What specific questions should these practitioners ask themselves to determine whether their curriculum is universally designed? What “look-fors” would you suggest?
