  • A few students are already reading at a first-grade level but need to improve listening and social skills. Most students can recognize the alphabet and a few common words like stop 
  • Three students who are English language learners need support in understanding and using basic English vocabulary.
  • Two students with special needs have trouble listening for more than a few minutes without calling out in class
  • Several students are shy, rarely speaking during large group time.

Laura is intrigued by UDL and would love to focus on applying it to her lesson planning, but she’s so overwhelmed with the varying needs of her students that it seems like a lot to take on.

Learning Goal:
Students will listen to a poem (“Rain, Rain, Go Away”). With prompting as needed, through a Q&A and group picture-card exercise, students will recall key details from the poem and answer four out of five who and what questions.

Laura’s learning goal is flexible and SMART. It has embedded scaffolding that allows all her students to participate. She designs a reading-readiness lesson focused on recalling information from a short poem.
