Exploring Universal Design for Learning: Strategies for Inclusive Education

Join us for an engaging workshop on Universal Design for Learning (UDL) hosted in Fairhaven, MA, on March 4, 2014. This session aims to deepen our understanding of lesson design that embraces learner variability. Participants will explore core UDL concepts, including the importance of context, goals, and the notion that variability is the rule in learning. We will also delve into collaborative activities like the Marshmallow Challenge to foster design thinking. Together, we can build curriculum that is accessible and effective for all learners.

  5. How was February vacation… #UDL (c) CAST 2014

  6. Describe your current wallpaper on your desktop/laptop/device… #UDL (c) CAST 2014

  7. Write, share, tweet:‘What is UDL?’ #UDL (c) CAST 2014

  8. Goal To build a deeper understanding of how to design lessons that use the UDL framework and address learner variability #UDL (c) CAST 2014

  9. Awareness #UDL (c) CAST 2014

  10. What are your goals for today? #UDL (c) CAST 2014

  11. Core UDL concept #1: Variability is the rule #UDL (c) CAST 2014

  12. Old view of learning: learning ‘styles’ #UDL (c) CAST 2014

  13. New imaging: variability #UDL (c) CAST 2014

  14. Core UDL Concept #2: the goal matters #UDL (c) CAST 2014

  15. Core UDL Concept #3:Context matters #UDL (c) CAST 2014

  16. Learning= dynamic interaction between learner (variability), environment (context), towards the goal #UDL (c) CAST 2014

  17. Design from beginning for variability:reduce barriers so all can reach the goal #UDL (c) CAST 2014

  18. UDLCurriculum: ‘cognitive’ accessibilityGoal. Design (context, curriculum). Variability.Make available for all #UDL (c) CAST 2014

  19. Questions, Reflections? #UDL (c) CAST 2014

  20. The Marshmallow Challenge Goal: to build collaboration around design #UDL (c) CAST 2014

  21. #UDL (c) CAST 2014

  22. RULES: • 18 minutes, team of 4 • Tallest freestanding structure • Cannot be suspended • Entire marshmallow on top • Use as much/little of the contents in bag (not the bag); can break, cut… Have fun, collaborate & be creative #UDL (c) CAST 2014

  23. What worked- what did not work?Variability! • Strategy • Representation • Engagement #UDL (c) CAST 2014

  24. TED talk: collaboration, prototyping #UDL (c) CAST 2014

  25. GoalConstruct relevant –v- construct irrelevant #UDL (c) CAST 2014

  26. How do I ‘do’ UDL? • Goal • Variability • Assessment #UDL (c) CAST 2014

  27. Goals are difficult Many goals: CCSS, district, lesson, department • Clarify goalsso all understand • Consider whether means are embedded #UDL (c) CAST 2014

  28. 1. Clarify Goal • CCSS.ELA-Literacy.WHST.6-8.1b Support claim(s) with logical reasoning and relevant, accurate data and evidence that demonstrate an understanding of the topic or text, using credible sources. #UDL (c) CAST 2014

  29. Clarify goal: simplify language, define terms • CCSS.ELA-Literacy.WHST.6-8.1bSupport claim(s) with logical reasoning and relevant, accurate data and evidence that demonstrate an understanding of the topic or text, using credible sources. • New goal: Support claim with accurate data (credible sources). #UDL (c) CAST 2014

  30. 2. Is the means embedded in the goal? • New goal: Support claim with accurate data (credible sources). • New goal: Support claim with accurate data by writing an essay. #UDL (c) CAST 2014

  31. Beware of secondary goals! #UDL (c) CAST 2014

  32. Watch this example of a teacher in practice:1. Identify the GOAL. #UDL (c) CAST 2014

  33. How do I ‘do’ UDL? • Goal • Variability • Assessment #UDL (c) CAST 2014

  34. UDL Guidelines #UDL (c) CAST 2014

  35. UDL Guidelines: design curriculum to address learner variability #UDL (c) CAST 2014

  36. Variability in perception • Color blindness • Sensory overload • Vision • Audio skills, etc… #UDL (c) CAST 2014

  37. Design curriculum with optionsfrom the beginning, for all • What supports recognition: • options for perception? • options to support vocabulary, symbols? • options to build background? #UDL (c) CAST 2014

  38. UDL Guidelines #UDL (c) CAST 2014

  39. Variability in Action & Expression • Fine motor • Set goals • Progress monitor • Working memory • Skills… #UDL (c) CAST 2014

  40. Design curriculum with options from the beginning for all • What supports action: • Are there options for physical action? • Are there options for models, sentence starters? • Are there options for executive function (progress monitor, set goals)? #UDL (c) CAST 2014

  41. UDL Guidelines #UDL (c) CAST 2014

  42. Variability in engagement • Interests • Distractions • Collaboration • Coping skills… #UDL (c) CAST 2014

  43. Emotions: ‘shelves that hold up the cognitive glassware’ EMOTIONS= shelves #UDL (c) CAST 2014

  44. Perception:Resources vs. Demands Resources: Perceivedskills & resources Demands Perceived level of challenge #UDL (c) CAST 2014

  45. Design curriculum with options from the beginning, for all • What supports engagement: • options for choice, authenticity? • options for collaboration, formative assessment? • options for self reflection? #UDL (c) CAST 2014

  46. Watch and discuss using UDL Guidelines: The cell lesson:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6IDPGUSQNes • What strategies are already being used? • What barriers are still in the lesson? • What UDL options could be designed to remove these barriers? #UDL (c) CAST 2014

  47. Goal of learning:Expert learners • Resourceful, knowledgeable • Strategic, goal directed • Purposeful, motivated #UDL (c) CAST 2014

  48. Flexible use of UDL Guidelines, based on goal #UDL (c) CAST 2014

  49. How do I ‘do’ UDL? • Goal • Variability: • Recognition, Action, Engagement • Assessment #UDL (c) CAST 2014

  50. UDL… • A mindset for designing learning experiences • all individuals can gain knowledge, skills, and enthusiasm for learning • reduces barriers to the curriculum while maintaining high goals for all #UDL (c) CAST 2014
