Enhancing Learning with Multiple Means of Representation in UDL
This session focuses on applying the UDL (Universal Design for Learning) guidelines to enhance educational practices. Participants will learn how to use tools like Book Builder to exemplify the principles of representation. We will discuss strategies to help expert learners utilize their existing knowledge to identify and assimilate new information effectively. The session will cover ways to evaluate curriculum materials for options in perception, language, and comprehension, aiming to minimize learning barriers and maximize opportunities for all learners.

Multiple Means of Representation UDL Guidelines
Session Goals • Apply the Guidelines to practice • Understand how Book Builder is an Example of the Guidelines
Expert Learners are Resourceful and Knowledgeable http://www.udlcenter.org/aboutudl/expertlearners
Expert Learners are Resourceful and Knowledgeable • Bring considerable prior knowledge to new learning • Activate that prior knowledge to identify, organize, prioritize, and assimilate new information • Recognize the tools and resources that would help them find, structure, and remember new information • Know how to transform new information into meaningful and useable knowledge http://www.udlcenter.org/aboutudl/expertlearners

Multiple Means of Representation • Using the Guidelines to select curriculum… • Does the curriculum/materials provide options for perception? • Does the curriculum/materials provide options for language, mathematical expressions, and symbols? • Does the curriculum/materials provide options for comprehension?

“Buy” or “Not Buy” • Talk to your neighbors about why this curriculum is something that addresses the variability of all learners. • How does it minimize barriers to learning ad maximize opportunities for All?
