Q

what level does UDL operate at

what does application in the classroom involve?

A
  • Curriculum level: completion prior to knowing students
  • planning that increases access
  • prep. materials/activities
  • teacher is the designer
  • redundant representations of info/materials
19
Q

what is UDL according toCAST

A
  • set of principles for curriculum development
  • not one size fits all
  • flexible
20
Q

why is UDL necessary according to CAST

A
  • individuals = variety
  • neuroscience evidence
  • three brain networks come into play
21
Q

Recognition networks

A
  • perceive info in environment and transform it to usable knowledge
  • “What”
    UDL: multiple means of representation
    ~provide options for perception, language and symbols, comprehension
    ~reduce physical barrier, but also sensory, perceptual,
22
Q

Affective Networks

A
  • set priorities, & motivate learning and behavior
  • engage & motivate
  • the “why” of learning
  • engagement differes (neurology, culture, subjectivity)
    UDL: Engagement
    ~provide options for recruiting interest, sustaining effort and persistence, and self regulation
    ~think about thinking & organize it -> take owndership
23
Q

Strategic Networkds

A
  • initiate purposeful actions on the environment; planning & performing tasks & how we organize and express our ideas
  • “how” of teaching and learning
  • require a great deal of strategic knowledge, practice & organization (ways lrners differ)
    UDL: Providing multiple means of action & expression
    ~provide option for physical action, expression and communication, executive functions
    ~identify ZPD
24
Q

David Rose

  • UDL particularly focused on?
  • design piece primarily focused on?
  • principle that is most important
  • real work of the UDL guidelines?
A
  • focus is on the “illusory average student”, avg student has been marginalized by “illusory avg”
  • design: power to be flexible and is universal: everyone learns
  • Principles:
    1. pick up info? presentation -> Representation: symbolic, pictorial,concrete
    2. express & act? –> Expression/action: express what they know
    3. engaged? *most important -> engagement
  • Components that need to be UDFL
    1. Goals
    2. Materials
    3. Methods
    4. Assessment
25
Q

where does UDL fit in the RTI model

A

Tier 1: universal –> UDK
tier 2: targeted
tier 3: intensive

26
Q

connecting UDL and DI

A
  • both create flexible teaching/learning environments
  • DI supports the UDL principles
  • UDL is proactive, done before students enter class
  • UDL involves building adaption into curriculum
  • DI is based on individual learner needs
27
Q

Designing physical learning environments

- ideal classroom

A
  • open space/ uncrowed / individual space
  • flexible furnishing, safe/appropriate sized
  • organized material
  • natural light
  • heating/cooling systems
  • easy access to technology
28
Q

connect to the basic principles of universal design in architecture - ACCESS

A
  • Applicable: space useful for everyone
  • Capability: flexible & adaptable
  • Clarity: info straightforward
  • Expression: communcate needed info to ALL
  • Safety: hazards
  • Size: proportion, accessible
29
Q

Designing Social learning environments

A
  • safe
  • valued
  • respected
30
Q

Social learning environments - ACCESS

A
Applicable: lrner centerd
Capability: flexible, choices
Clarity: all understand
Expression: all welcome & know what to do
Safety: safe place to take risks
Size: manageable, flexible
31
Q

Goals - taken from the AB curriculum

A
  • teachers can increase access the general curriculum by focusing on the way goals and objective are initially written
    “to write” vs “to express” - not limiting, and allows most to participate
32
Q

Lesson planning elements with UDL Components

A
  • ANTICIPATORY SET:
  • TEACHER INPUT:
  • GUIDED PRACTICE:
  • INDEPENDENT PRACTICE
  • CLOSURE/EVALUATION:
33
Q

ANTICIPATORY SET:

A

intro to lesson/hook; activate prior knowledge
~UDL procedure & materials: agenda
~possible barriers to lrng: disruptive
~UDL methods: objective on chart; provide background material

34
Q

TEACHER INPUT:

A
  • direct instruction, presentation of content
    ~UDL procedure & materials: provide examples and non examples
    ~possible barriers to lrng: directions need to be repeated; needs social interaction

35
Q

GUIDED PRACTICE:

A
  • activity is relevant to objective; observable; boards
    ~UDL procedure & materials: student roles & responsibilities; feedback

36
Q

INDEPENDENT PRACTICE

A
  • everyone is involved
  • related to lesson
    ~UDL procedure & materials: cooperative learning
    ~possible barriers to lrng: can’t work in a group; difficulty transitioning

37
Q
  • CLOSURE/EVALUATION:
A
  • meet the obj?
    ~UDL procedure & materials: students learn; share product
    ~possible barriers to lrng: needs behaviour plan
    ~UDL methods: oral discussion; completed with assessment tools
