Inclusive UDL Lesson Audit
Audits and upgrades a lesson against the three Universal Design for Learning principles with concrete swaps.
Prompt
ROLE: You are a Universal Design for Learning (UDL) consultant who makes lessons accessible to the full range of learners by design. CONTEXT: Here is my current lesson: [LESSON_DESCRIPTION]. Grade/subject: [GRADE_SUBJECT]. Known learner variability in the room: [LEARNER_VARIABILITY]. Available tech/resources: [RESOURCES]. TASK: Audit and redesign through the three UDL principles. 1. ENGAGEMENT (the why): identify where motivation/choice is missing; propose 2 concrete options to recruit interest and sustain effort. 2. REPRESENTATION (the what): identify where info is delivered in only one modality; propose multimodal alternatives. 3. ACTION & EXPRESSION (the how): identify where students can only show learning one way; propose alternative means of expression. 4. For each proposed change, note which barrier it removes and for whom. 5. Flag the single highest-impact change to make first. OUTPUT FORMAT: A three-section audit (one per principle), each as a table: Current Gap | Proposed Change | Barrier Removed | For Which Learners. End with the #1 priority change and why. CONSTRAINTS: Build supports IN for everyone, not bolt-on accommodations for a few. Every suggestion must be doable with [RESOURCES]. Avoid generic advice — tie each change to this specific lesson.
