By reviewing some readings and the thoughts of my colleagues, I am going to go over my findings of what I perceive to be the differences between the two concepts that are beneficial for our ELLs. I have also heard, “What is the difference between _ (SIOP/UDL) and just good teaching?” for both concepts. This sounded very similar to a principle of UDL to me and it made me start to think about what the key differences were between UDL and SIOP (since they clearly have some overlap). I recently was reading my colleague Natasha’s blog post about how she used SIOP principles to teach the difference between the Earth’s rotation and revolution. ![]() ![]() I remember going through each section in my lesson plan and highlighting which principles I incorporated and my rationale, and sometimes I had difficulty determining whether it was a principle of sheltered instruction or UDL or both. While I was going through this I realized there was a lot of overlap between certain UDL and Sheltered Instruction principles. ![]() For my module 6 cumulative assignment, I was revising a lesson plan by implementing more UDL and SIOP principles. ![]()
