UDL Solutions Plan: Step Two

Grade: 4

Teacher: (Mrs/ Miss) V.

Subject: Science

Standard: Living things and their environment: My Environment

Goal: Identifying, research and presentation of elements in the immediate surroundings in terms of habitat and biomes.

Purpose: Teaching should embrace the learners such that there are no flaws that leave some learners unattended to. In recognition of the diverse nature of the learners that will attend this curriculum, this UDL plan seeks to identify the loopholes in terms of the recognition, strategic and affective differences. This will be achieved by asking students to identify and research on elements that indicate their homes’ (area of residence) habitat and corresponding biome. Common barriers identified in the students activities will be noted and linked to the respective brain network or networks, that is, either the recognition network (identifying patterns), the strategic network (expression of ideas) or the affective network (engaging in the learning task). UDL Solutions will be determined by narrowing down the UDL Principles to the ones that address deficiency in the particular network. Modification of the curricular techniques and materials too suit every learner will conclude the UDL Plan to get the needed solutions.
