Session 9 (May 29)

Share lessons (Celebration) & Next steps

Goal for this session:

• Dive even deeper into UDL way of thinking• Build & share UDL resources for your lessons

UDL: Clear goal. Flexible means of Representation, Action, & Engagement.

Neuroscience:Learners are highly variable . . .

New way of thinking:Variability, not Learning ‘Styles’

Learning is dynamic interaction of individual in environment

• Context matters!

What does this mean for your work?

Share ideas from your work

How do you ‘do’ UDL

• Goal• Methods/Materials• Assessment

Goals:• Important!

• Can be tricky to define:– CCSS, MCAS, grade level, content, time…

• UDL challenge:– Have clear goals, so students know & can say– Not have means embedded

‘Oobleck’ lesson: goals

Goals:• Content– to know difference between solid & liquid– to learn science vocabulary

• District– to improve writing

• Classroom– engage, topic is often ‘boring’

Content Goals:

• to know difference between solid & liquid– Build background (3.1), examples and non-

examples (5.3)

• to learn science vocabulary– Support with Word walls, pictures, example

sentences (2.1, 2.2)

DistrictGoals:

• to improve writing– Models (5.3)– Multiple tools to compose (5.2)– Collaboration (8.3)– Support planning, strategy (6.2)– Monitor progress (6.4)

Classroom goal:• engage, topic is often ‘boring’– Choice in the activities– Oobleck: engages many, videos

Are means embedded in goal?

• Students will write about the process of metamorphosis in their journals.

• Students will write about what they did over April vacation.

Build lessons that are ‘mostly full’

‘Desirable difficulties’

• Keep challenge where you want it: emphasize what is relevant

• Flexible means where you can: reduce barriers that are irrelevant

Questions, thoughts?

UDL Resources:

• Goal: to explore 4 UDL resources– UDL Connect: resources from this workshop– UDL BookBuilder: supported reading environment– UDL Guidelines: Tell Me More

UDL Connect

• For resources from this workshop– Sign in, Join our group (Revere)

UDL BookBuilder

• For designing supported books in any subject– ‘Coaches’ can provide prompts, hints, models

UDL Guidelines: Tell me more

• For ‘how to’ ideas for each UDL Checkpoint

Do you have any resources you’d like to share?

Use Handout to Guide you to explore these 3 UDL Resources

15-20 minutes

Break

Work time UDL Lesson

Goal: to apply UDL to one of your lessons

Assessment: share your ideas, May 29

Options: UDL Exchange, work with peer, video, Prezi/PowerPoint, etc

• What was goal(s) of lesson?

• How did UDL inform your lesson design? • Reflect: – What was different about ‘doing’ UDL? – How did lesson meet needs of your variable

learners?

• If you had a chance to do your UDL lesson before May 29:

–What did you observe or measure? • a change in student engagement or in student xxx?

– How could UDL inform the next time you do this lesson?• part of lesson did not go as well, so next time UDL

can support my lesson design by…

Materials: • UDL Guidelines, Worksheet, Lesson Plan Handout

• Consider Salsa, Car Crash, Oobleck, video examples

• UDL Connect, UDL Tell Me More Guidelines, BookBuilder

• Let Allison know if you need others

Method:• Pre-plan a lesson using UDL Guidelines &

questions– Work independently or collaboratively

• Do lesson (consider video-taping!)

• Reflect after lesson using UDL Guidelines

• Share with colleagues on May 29

Planning schedule:April 10 (today):• Work time (~45 min) to consider UDL Resources + choose a lesson

May 8:• Representation + Work time (~90 min)

May 15:• Video + Work time (~30 min) May 29:• Share & Celebrate:

– Set up 12:45-1:00– First groups share from 1:00-1:30 – Second groups share from 1:40-2:10– Celebrate: Final sharing, Certificates, PDPs…

Questions?

• Return at 2:25 to share first steps & ideas.

• Today: select a lesson, begin to design

Brain rhyme game:• In a storm?

• Made a spot?

• It hurts?

• Most important?

• Most conceited?

• Most logical?

• Used for bread?

• Used to pick things up?

• Where it lives?
