To illustrate how UDL-aligned learning goals and success criteria can look like in practice, here are some examples from different subject areas and grade levels. Note that these are not exhaustive or prescriptive, but rather illustrative and adaptable. For example, in a grade 3 math unit on fractions, a UDL-aligned learning goal could be to compare and order fractions with like and unlike denominators using different strategies and representations. The success criteria for this could include explaining how to compare and order fractions using words, symbols, or pictures; using models such as number lines, fraction strips, or circles; solving problems involving comparing and ordering fractions in real-life contexts; and choosing a strategy and representation that works best for them and explaining why. In a grade 7 science unit on ecosystems, a UDL-aligned learning goal could be to investigate how biotic and abiotic factors affect the interactions and interdependence of organisms in an ecosystem. The success criteria for this could include conducting an inquiry on a specific ecosystem of their choice; identifying and describing the biotic and abiotic factors in the ecosystem; analyzing and interpreting the data; communicating their findings in a format of their choice; and using scientific vocabulary, concepts, and evidence to support their claims. Lastly, in a grade 10 English unit on persuasive writing, the UDL-aligned learning goal could be to write a persuasive text that expresses their opinion on a relevant issue and convinces their audience to take action. The success criteria for this could include choosing an issue that they care about; researching different perspectives of the issue; developing a clear thesis statement; organizing their text into paragraphs with topic sentences, supporting details, and transitions; using rhetorical devices to appeal to their audience's logic, emotions, or values; using an appropriate tone, style, and language for the purpose, audience, and context; revising and editing their text based on feedback from peers or teachers; and presenting the text in a mode of their choice.
