Barriers: UDL Reflection

Barriers helps teachers plan better lessons, run them with a built-in timer, reflect on what worked - all in one document. Grounded in CAST's Universal Design for Learning (UDL) Guidelines version 3.0, Barriers turns lesson reflection from a chore into a structured, evidence-based practice. PLAN - Build your lesson as timed segments with activities, materials, and pedagogical intent. Use AI to generate a complete lesson plan from your learning intentions - or state from scratch. TEACH - Run your lesson live with count-up timer and Gantt-style segment view. Students always see what they're doing now and what's coming next - an executive-function support built right in. Project the fullscreen dual for classroom visibility, with audio chimes marking each transition. REFLECT- Rate learner engagement per segment, identify barriers to learning, and map solutions to UDL checkpoitns. Apple Intelligence analyses your lesson for barriers and instructional illusion, then suggests targeted UDL strategies - entirely on-device, and entirely private. REFLECT - Generate an Instructional Coaching Report as a PDF - ready to share with a colleague, a coach, or for your own records. FREE. PRIVATE. ON-DEVICE - AI features run entirely on-device via Apple Intelligence. No accounts. No subscriptions. No API keys. Barriers sends nothing to any server - all your data stays on your device.
