Textbook Publishers have recognized the need for differentiated resources to address the variety of student learning styles, backgrounds and skills found in every classroom.  Students take in and process information in different ways. Options for understanding information are provided by publishers. The webpages withing this site contain links to the UDL resources provided by publishers for our SPPS Adopted Textbooks for required classes.  Within each subject area, there are links to course syllabi, and a detailed downloadable grid of differentiated resources for SPPS adopted textbooks.  UDL resources are catagorized by multiple means of presentation, multiple means of expression and mulitiple means of engagement.
