UDL is an exceptionally important model to use in our classroom. It makes learning a more "equal playing field" for all students with that said it can often be overlooked when making lesson plans, but I believe on a day to day basis most teachers use one or more of the principles in their classroom. I found this checklist on google that can be helpful for educators to use when making their lesson plans.
My biggest strength is in the engagement category. I always try to modify when I see medications are needed, offer different levels of work for students that fall into three tiers (gifted, average, and special ed), and offer rewards to students that I see trying their hardest and excelling.
My biggest weakness is in the representation category. In some schools it's hard to provide the tools necessary for students to be successful. It's easy enough for a teacher to make words bigger on paper, but some things like helping a hearing impaired student aren't that simple and a whole sound system might be needed.
