      The idea of the "one-size-fits-all approach is being changed in the pages of textbooks, but sometimes it is more difficult for teachers to make this ideological change-over in their teaching methods.

      True, but I am not convinced that the concept of UDL is really as much of a change as CAST is making it out to be. This is kind of a repackaging of ideas instead of a new idea. The concept of backwards design and Understanding By Design are all kind of the same thing. We are really just being asked to think about the end goal and how it fits everyone at the beginning. Or am I missing the point of UDL?

      I agree with you, UDL is looking at designing lesson plans and units in the same fashion that backwards lesson design does, but one difference may be that UDL looks at brain research. Granted I know little to nothing about the theory behind Backward Lesson Design, but is there a key component regarding brain research and actively engaging students using differeniated learning to activate the various neural networks? Perhaps UDL is Backwards lesson design with a splash of Howard Gardner's Multiple Intelligences and a dash of Pavio's Dual Coding System?

      Throughout last year, this was a common phrase that was used as I learned to make accomidations for both my IEP studnets and my ELL students.

    Just in case there is anyone that would like to compare notes on the Universal Lesson Design information, I thought I would include the website in the list of resources.
