- What examples of planing for learner variability did you see during your Milbrook visit? How are teachers applying the UDL framework? Did you see any missed opportunities to apply UDL?
From the visit at Milbrook I saw great examples of UDL in the classrooms. The first was classroom arrangement. When I was a kid, most teachers would align the desk into simple rows, but at Milbrook I saw different arrangements of desks so that students could see the rest of their classmates, and teachers could teach from almost any angle of the classroom. I also saw small things such as posters with important processes on them for students to always look at, and technology in almost every classroom. Their was only one bad example of UDL from what I examined throughout the school, and it was located in the "speech room." It was a small boxed in room with no windows, no posters and no pictures. There was a mat on the floor and a desk with a telephone on it. It was possible that this room was not even used for a classroom, but if it was there was no sign of UDL.
