This video depicts a 5th grade language arts teacher implementing UDL in his classroom. A panel of UDL experts add commentary throughout the video on what they see him doing that relates to UDL, and what section of the UDL framework it relates to. The teacher in this video gives his students options on how they can express what they have learned. The teacher also let's the students explain their process to him, rather than him telling them what they should be doing. I can implement UDL into my classroom through mathematics. When it comes to math, students can be taught using mathematical symbols as well as manipulatives. Manipulatives help students understand where the numbers are coming from, and visually see the symbolic operations occurring in front of them.Through multiple means of representation, students across the spectrum will gain more from the lesson than if I just taught using mathematical symbols.
