Goals

• Understand the concepts of Universal Design for Learning

• Apply the concepts of Universal Design for Learning to classroom practice

The Challenge

Access, participation, and progress in

the general education curriculum for all

learners

IDEA ‘97

Origins of Universal Design for Learning (UDL)

CAST believes that “barriers to learning are not, in fact, inherent in the capacities of learners, but instead arise in learners' interactions with inflexible educational goals, materials, methods, and assessments.”

Teaching Every Student in the Digital Age, p. vi

Origins of Universal Design for Learning (UDL)

Definition: UDL is an educational approach to teaching, learning, and assessment, drawing on new brain research and new media technologies to respond to individual learner differences.

The Ladder of Inference & Learning

UDL and the Learning Brain

–Recognition network–Strategic network–Affective network

Page 11: UDL Bootcamp

UDL and the Learning Brain

Recognition networks: “the what of learning”

identify and interpret patterns of sound, light, taste, smell, and touch

Page 12: UDL Bootcamp

It tells us what each of these are but also why they are different

Page 13: UDL Bootcamp

UDL and the Learning Brain

Page 14: UDL Bootcamp

UDL and the Learning Brain

Strategic networks: “the how of learning”

plan, execute, and monitor actions and skills

Page 15: UDL Bootcamp

UDL and the Learning Brain

Page 16: UDL Bootcamp

UDL and the Learning Brain

Affective networks: “the why of learning”

evaluate and set priorities affective networks are essential to wanting to learn

The Myth Around Different Learners

• Not everyone learns differently

• We all have these three networks

• We may have propensity in different areas and leads to variability

Page 19: UDL Bootcamp

UDL and the Learning Brain

One must recognize information, ideas, and concepts

One must be able to apply strategies to process the information

One must be engaged

Vygotsky

Page 20: UDL Bootcamp

UDL and the Learning Brain

Task is too difficult for learner

ZONE OF PROXIMAL DEVELOPMENT

Task is too easy for learner

Flow Theory8 conditions

• Sense of potential control

• Loss of self-consciousness

• Time distortion• Autotelic or self-

rewarding experience

• Clear goals and feedback

• Equilibrium between challenge and skill

• Merging of action and awareness

• Focused concentration

UDL and the Learning Brain

All learners are variable and

universal does not mean

“one size fits all”

Page 26: UDL Bootcamp

The Framework for UDL

Page 27: UDL Bootcamp

Principles of UDL

– Provide multiple, flexible methods of presentation

– Provide multiple, flexible methods of expression and apprenticeship

– Provide multiple, flexible options for engagement

Page 28: UDL Bootcamp

Principles of UDL

• The key is Flexibility not fitting into the box

Page 29: UDL Bootcamp

New Assumptions: UDL

• Students with disabilities fall along multiple continua

• Typical classes are highly diverse

• Teacher adjustments benefit all learners

• Curriculum needs fixing, not the students

• Curriculum materials must be flexible, varied, and diverse

• General Education and Special Education teachers plan curriculum

Page 30: UDL Bootcamp

Questions

• Which methods of teaching are most effective with the ways that each brain network functions?

• What kinds of flexibility must instructional materials have to address the uniqueness of each learner?

Page 31: UDL Bootcamp

Supporting Recognition LearningProvide alternative formats for presenting information

– Provide multiple examples

– Highlight critical features

– Provide multiple media and formats

– Support background context

Page 32: UDL Bootcamp

Recognition: Provide multiple examples K-2 Goal: Recognize that animals (including humans) and plants are living things

that grow, reproduce, and need food, air, and water.

Examples of living things Examples of non-living things

Page 33: UDL Bootcamp

Recognition: Highlight Critical Features

Highlight critical features to identify a bird

Birds have feathers.

Birds have wings.Birds have beaks.

Is this a bird?

Page 34: UDL Bootcamp

Recognition: Multiple Media & Formats

Provide a range of formats and media to ensure access for all

Page 35: UDL Bootcamp

Supporting Strategic Learning

Provide alternative means for action and expression

– Provide flexible models of skilled performance

– Provide opportunities to practice with supports

– Provide ongoing, relevant feedback

– Offer flexible opportunities for demonstrating skill

Page 36: UDL Bootcamp

Strategic: Flexible models of performance Provide expert models of skilled performance and counter examples

of incorrect execution

Think and share!

Think about examples and counter examples of performance, e.g. think about good tennis techniques and poor execution of serving.

Models of successful ways to healthy eating and incorrect ways to healthy eating

And more…

Page 37: UDL Bootcamp

Strategic: Ongoing relevant feedback Feedback is provided in an on-going fashion.

Page 38: UDL Bootcamp

Supporting Affective Learning

Provide alternative means for engagement – Offer choices of content and tools

– Offer adjustable levels of challenge

– Offer choices of rewards

– Offer choices of learning context

Page 39: UDL Bootcamp

The UDL Approach

• Diversity is the norm in today’s classrooms

• Applying the UDL principles in education is enabled by:

– Appropriate goals – Flexible and supportive digital materials – Flexible and diverse methods, and– Accessible and flexible assessments
