![]() ![]() How are sensory, motor, culture, linguistic, and ability diverse considerations made within the curriculum? Are multiple learning structures provided (individual, small group, whole group opportunities)? How are higher level thinking experiences provided within the range of diversity? 2. ![]() ![]() Teaching Strategies & Learning Outcomes 1. Educators must acknowledge and respect diversity among learners and share a commitment that all children will have equitable access to a curriculum that will provide meaningful participation, benefit, and supports. Does the early childhood environment provide all children with multiple and varied ways to become engaged, motivated, excited, and challenged in their learning? (UDL Principle #3 providing multiple means of engagement to give children varied opportunities to be motivated and challenged) 1ΔΆ Curriculum Inquiry Curriculum must be responsive to culturally, linguistic, and ability diverse learning environments. Does the early childhood environment provide all children with multiple and varies ways to express and show what they are learning? (UDL Principle # 2 providing multiple means of expression to give children a variety of ways to show or demonstrate what they are learning) 3. Does the early childhood environment provide all children with multiple and varied ways to learn? (UDL Principle # 1- providing multiple means of presentation to give children a variety of ways to acquire, process, and integrate information, knowledge, and skills) 2. The checklist questions and examples are intended to guide educators to think differently and to concentrate on the intentionality of teaching as a way to design and implement quality learning experiences in diverse learning environments. Use these broader UDL related questions in conjunction with the questions in the categories of Curriculum, Physical Environment, and Relationships when conducting the UDL observations. For additional UDL related resources and information, visit the Building Inclusive Child Care (BICC) website at UDL Checklist Questions Universal Design for Learning (UDL) is based on three principles that focus on providing multiple and varied approaches to learning and can be phrased for purposes of this observation tool, by asking the following three questions. The UDL Checklist is intended to offer a brief snapshot of UDL perspectives to support the expansion and strengthening of UDL. The outcomes identified from using this tool can be reviewed to create greater UDL awareness, highlight currently used UDL practices, and acknowledge areas to strengthen UDL policies and strategies within the learning environment. Following is a UDL Checklist developed to guide early childhood observations through the lens of Universal Design for Learning. These environments provide for UDL practices that assist in developing inclusive early childhood environments to ensure equitable access and meaningful participation through flexible, engaging, and creative approaches within a developmentally appropriate setting. The UDL environment is designed by considering cultural, linguistic, and ability diversity among all children. 1 Universal Design for Learning (UDL) Checklist for Early Childhood Environments Universally Designed Learning (UDL) environments are designed from the onset in consideration of the widest diversity of learners possible so that all children benefit. ![]()
