Unlock hidden writing skills in all learners through UDL!
The Common Core State Standards (CCSS) for writing are promising but present a host of challenges in implementation, especially for struggling students. In this valuable resource, Sally A. Spencer demonstrates the potential of Universal Design for Learning (UDL) as a framework for making the CCSS writing and language standards accessible to all kids. Educators who utilize these strategies will know:
- How to leverage the strengths of students to optimize writing instruction and overcome their weaknesses
- The ways UDL can minimize the roadblocks in CCSS implementation
- How to - and how not to - use technology to teach writing and language conventions
With dozens of classroom-ready activities, resources for further reading, and reproducibles, this easy-to-use guide will help you make all students proficient writers.
