17. MODULE INTRO:To meet the needs of all students in the general education classroom to the greatest extent possible, a team of Sycamore Middle School personnel convenes to research and evaluate potential approaches. They discover Universal Design for Learning (UDL), which appears to meet their needs. UDL provides a research-based framework for teachers to incorporate flexible materials, techniques, and strategies for delivering instruction and for students to demonstrate their knowledge in a variety of ways. Developed by researchers at the Center for Applied Special Technology (CAST), this framework stands in contrast with the "one size fits all" instructional approach that has traditionally been used in classrooms, as outlined in the table below.

21. UDL as a Framework for Learning http://iris.peabody.vanderbilt.edu/udl/udl_02.html

22. Examples of UDL for Learning http://iris.peabody.vanderbilt.edu/udl/udl_02.html

24. Sycamore MS Implements their Plan Plan: Collaboratively revise lessons by applying the UDL Principles to meet learning needs of all students in the GE environment. Traditional Goal: The students will read the textbook chapter about ancient Egypt and write in cursive a 500-word report about burial customs.

25. Analyzing the Goal Traditional Goal: The students will read the textbook chapter about ancient Egypt and write in cursive a 500-word report about burial customs. + • Clearly stated • Observable • Measurable and • Aligned with grade-level standards • UDL • Representation barriers? • Action and expressions barriers? • Engagement issues?

26. How often are teachers creating learning goals that limit the means by which their students can achieve the goal? The new UDL goal becomes: The students will learn about and present information about the burial customs of ancient Egypt.

27. Scaffolding Scaffolding, or the instructional technique in which teachers offer support for students learning new skills by systematically building on their experiences and knowledge until they can apply the new skills independently will only be effective and authentic if it is based on the teacher’s solid understanding of the complete learning target. …and so we circle back to teachers chewing on the NXG CSOs… NOTICE…

28. What conclusions did the Sycamore MS teachers make about UDL? UDL is a viable way to: • Meet the needs of the widest range of students by reducing the number of barriers to learning • Provide challenging, salient, and age-appropriate materials to students with a range of abilities • Allow students to learn in accordance with their dominant learning preferences, and • Create alternative ways for students to both receive and deliver information How did they get to these conclusions?

29. What will you… 2.How will you help them identify and invest in ways to improve the instruction they offer to their students? DO and NOT DO? 1. What are your responsibilities for supporting teachers?

30. Lessons to Learn • More of just anything is not enough to get us the outcomes we need. QUALITY COUNTS! • We can’t expect to narrow performance gaps by widening the distance between struggling students and the GE classroom.

31. What I will … DO and NOT DO? I will give you my email address – coderman@access.k12.wv.us 2. I won’t promise to have answers to all your questions. 3.I will promise to use your questions to focus our attention and our next steps.
