In my previous posts I have been talking about how Universal Design for Learning (UDL) is important in our schools and what it is. Today I was reading through another cite and was about Planning for All Learners or (PAL). This applies UDL to planning and developing curriculum in ways to promote participation, and progress the general education curriculum for all learners. This toolkit provides specific planning steps, guidance, mentoring, model lessons, tools, templates, resources, and links to other people using the PAL method. 
     There are 4 steps in completing the PAL model and creating a lesson. The first step is to Set Goals. The second step is Analyze Status. The third step is to Apply UDL and finally the fourth step is Teach the UDL Lesson. 
      The process of implementing these steps all starts with a PAL team. This is made up of general education and special education teachers. Also other specialists may be on this team. The team has to meet on a regular basis throughout the year. The work of the PAL team must be aligned with the district and guided by the state standards. 
      This would be great to have a PAL team with you while you were implementing UDL lessons in your class. Although the PAL team is a great way to have support and help to implement the lessons into your classroom, it seems as though it is a lot of work but pays off. The time the team spends to put the lessons together, the better outcome for the students. I would be excited to have that team work in my own school setting and implementing UDL lessons.
