A.1. Proposal for Designing New Curriculum and Educational Setting
I propose a Universal Design for Learning (UDL) framework for my school. This
curriculum is for my 9th-grade English Language Arts students and will help to enhance my
students’ writing and reading comprehension.
A.2. Curricular Goal
The curricular goal is for students to be able to build and strengthen their analytical
reading and writing skills. In terms of reading comprehension, this means that students will use
critical thinking skills to annotate and thoroughly understand the texts we read in class. In
regards to writing, students will be able to analyze concepts, research, and thematic elements in
their essays.
A.3. Rationale
I aim to use UDL to help students develop their skills in analyzing texts and incorporating
analytical writing. My rationale behind using this framework is to build new curriculum and
revitalize current curriculum to better engage and represent students. The UDL framework
, focuses on representing students and allowing them to fully engage with the materials and
express themselves through it. Therefore, by incorporating UDL in my classroom, I can help
students to not only better understand the concepts in my class, but also to thoroughly engage
with and enjoy the curriculum.
A.4. How Key Components Inform the Curriculum Design Process
The key components of the UDL framework are engagement, representation, and action
and expression. To promote a successful and comfortable classroom environment where students
feel included and safe, it is important to incorporate all of these key components.
