  3. Whatis UDL?

  4. How has it been defined? • « Means a scientificallyvalidframework for guidingeducational practice that : • Providesflexibility in the waysstudentsrespond or demonstrateknowledge and skills, and in the waysstudents are engaged; and • ReducesBarriers in Instruction, providesappropriate accommodations, supports, and challenges, and maintainshighachievement expectations for all students, includingstudentswho are limited English profient. » Higher Education Act of 2008 HEOA

  5. UDL exists in our living environment • Right Handed and LeftHanded Mouse • Wheel Chair accessibility • Engineered cars to transport disabled • Hearingaids • Reading or Seeing Glasses • ArtificialLimbs

  6. History Behind Universal Design for Learning

  7. Three Neural Networks Of UDL • Recognition Networks – the What of Learning Present Information and content in differentways • Strategic Networks – the How of learningDifferentiate the waysthatstudentscan express whatthey know. • Affective Networks - the Why of Learning Stimulateinterest and motivation in learning.

  9. Link to Examples

  10. Central Role of Technology • Digital media providesflexibility in theirability to meet the needs of the diverse learners. • UDL Toolkit: • Digital Content in the Classroom • Examples • Resources

  11. Central Role of Technology • Allowsstudents to access content in a variety of ways to best suit theirlearningneeds. • Allowsstudentsthe freedom to creativelyinteractwith content using adaptive technologies and web 2.0 collaborative tools.

  12. Examples of Technologies • Computer Input devicessuch as a keyboardwith large letters and numbers • Speech recognition device • Translation software • Audio devices • Calculators • Word Processors

  13. Potential Impact of UDLon Student Learning in myworkplace • A differentiated approach to learning. • Less frustrated students. • Happy Instructors who have a toolbox of strategies, ideas • and model lessons to draw from. • Supportive staff, parents students who have common • Language and goals. • No Longer a one size fits all model!

  14. BrainResearchTells Us about LearnerDifferences •  Learning isdistributedacrossthreeinterconnected networks. • Learners have weaknesses and strengthsthatmakethemeach unique.

  15. Implications for thosedifferences for instruction and learning • Teaching to bothbottom–up and top-down processes to reach recognition, strategic and affective networks. • Beingaware of the differencesacross the networks. • Recognize patterns of strength and weaknessesacoss the networks.

  16. How does UDL support cultural, ethnic, linguistic, and academicdiversity? • UDL supports a diversity in the classroom by using an analysis of eachstudent’slearning profile, regardless of the differences. • UDL reduces the barriers in the classroomthatpreventsstudents to engage in learning. • UDL providesflexibilitythrough the use of technology.

  17. A CAST online tool Three CAST online tools and Resources Lesson Builder Provideseducators and instructorswith background information about UDL, model UDL Lesson Plans and a template to create, edit and save original lesson plans. The instructorsneed to but into the adoption of thistool by immersingthemselves in guided practice and by viewing model lesson plans to seewhat a succesful plan looks like.

  18. A CAST online tool UDL Curriculum Self-Check This online toolhelps an instructor to check curriculum and explore resources to build options and flexibilityintoeachlesson design. Checks:UDL Goals,UDL Methods, UDL Materials and UDL Assessments. Our district couldimplementthisimmediately to begin an analysis of currentteachingstrategies and to address the RTI district goals.

  19. A CAST online tool UDL Solutions Finder This toolprovides the instructorwith practice in applyingCAST’sthree UDL principles. The focus is to remove the barriersfromteaching by providing an expansion of teachingtools. Our workplacecancompleteboth the barrier and solutions finder to help identify the best variedapproach to instuction.
