The UDL Class Profile Maker , also found under the "Tools and Activities" tab challenges you to rethink how you categorize each student by their learning strengths and weaknesses.  The learning curve to complete it is short, however, I found  my own background knowledge on how to  identify my student's strengths and weaknesses within the UDL framework lacking.

The framework for UDL is based on the 3 networks:
UDL challenges a teacher to turn the assessment process on its head! Report Cards need to reflect learning, not grades - this is a challenge for a teacher who has the constraints of a stringent district policy. The lesson plan itself contains goals that are more broadly written, but requires more prep work for the teacher - accumulating resources and sharing best practices is a key for success.

Once your TES account is created access the Case Studies to give you an inside look at UDL in application. There is a clear challenge to apply UDL, when faced with large class sizes, limited resources, and heterogeneous student populations - given the constraints, the case studies show examples of the success that can be realized when UDL is applied.
