Framing lessons through the lens of the Universal Design for Learning isn't about more time so much as it is about more strategic thinking, says Elizabeth Stein.

"Two-and-a-half years ago, at a meeting in Cambridge, leaders of 42 of America's top libraries and research institutions decided that the time had come to buildsomething together. But what was that thing?" And "that thing" is now launched... the Digital Public Libary of America!
Beth Dichter's insight:
The library director answers three questions about this new venture: * What is the Digital Public Library of America? What do you hope it will become? * Can you give us examples of collections or items that are part of the DPLA that people can look forward to exploring? * Can you talk about how the Digital Public Library of America fits in with the role of libraries going forward in the 21st century? Think about it. Forty-two institutions have come together to share their materials online. The library will have exhibits and allow you to search by location, time and keyword. You can create an account and save your searches (and they may be public or private). This is a new resource that will allow you and your students to find primary documents and artifacts that otherwise would not be available to them. Take the time to check it out. The site is located at http://dp.la.

In this post a middle school teacher shares a US history project where Common Core standards are aligned with the three Universal Design for Learning (UDL) Principles.
She discusses the process of creating the lesson and states:
"UDL is not about causing change. It’s about looking for natural connections to what one is already doing that can help diversify instruction. It’s about raising our own awareness and turning up our reflective skills so we become accustomed to thinking about how lessons align with the needs of diverse learners."
Within the post she includes the Purpose of the Lesson, the Process, Assessment and a table where she provides the Common Core Standards that were addressed, the lesson activities, and the specific UDL Principles that were addressed.
If you are new to UDL here is a short explanation from the post:
"The aim of a UDL lesson is to create (1) resourceful, knowledgeable learners through multiple means of representation; (2) strategic, goal-directed learners through multiple means of engagement; and (3) purposeful, motivated learners as a result of multiple means of expression."
