UDL Action and Expression (Formative)

The best way to use UDL and integrate it into my teaching will be to use multiple formative assessments.  UDL Design Center says that, "There is no medium of expression that is equally suited for all learners or for all kinds of communication." This tells me that I won't be able to use the best assessment for every student every time.  Sometimes, the assessments I give will be effective for most students, but still miss some.  It might be the opposite for the next assessment I use.  But, by using a variety of assessments, each student will have the opportunity to demonstrate the knowledge they have been learning.

I think this guideline is one of the most important because a teacher has to know whether or not their students are learning the concepts they want them to know.  The way we determine that is through assessments.  I want to include many different assessments for my students.  I am sure that over time I will be able to identify which assessments are effective for the most amount of students.  I want to be open minded and be willing to try different strategies.
