A (very long) List of UDL-Aligned Strategies

"ok. I get what UDL is, but how do I implement UDL in Classroom? I need strategies!". 

 I think that is the number one thing I hear when discussing UDL and our implementation in our school.  I would say that it is a pretty safe bet that this question and this desire for strategies are echoed in many schools by tons of educators. 

The internet to the rescue!! The internet is a beautiful thing as it has many resources out there that can not only shed more light on implementing the UDL framework but there are some that provide strategies. 

In my browsing I found Goalbook. Goalbook is a site/company dedicated to working with schools and school districts to help them implement the UDL framework in their instruction. It is a paid service, however, they are kind enough to share a great long list of UDL strategies, that, even if your school/district is not a member receiving their service, can help a teacher implement UDL in their classroom. 

The picture below is only a small portion of the list however one can see how useful it is already. The strategies are organized under the 3 domains outlined by CAST: Engagement, Representation, Action/Expression. 

But there is more!! If one clicks on the strategies, one gets a description/explanation of the strategy* and a notation referring to the CAST guidelines checkpoints. Each strategy can match more than one checkpoint and/or domain (see example below).

*Note that to get the implementation tips for the strategy, and examples, one has to have a membership. So if your school has a membership, you are golden!! If not, maybe send that off to your admins, they might join. 

I hope this helps my fellow educators a little!
