Outline The Myth of Average An overview of UDL Three Essential Ingredients to Consider: Goals, Variability, Context Learning networks: Affective, Recognition, Strategic Application
A Video… The Myth of Average
Who here has working knowledge of UDL and is comfortable implementing its strategies? Who has been introduced to UDL but needs some more information? Who has no idea of UDL and its guiding principles? Taking the Pulse…
Let’s Brainstorm? What is UDL?
Universal Design for Learning “UDL is an approach to curriculum that minimizes barriers and maximizes learning for all individuals.”UDL
Three Ingredients to UDL 1Goals 2Variability 3Context (environment, curriculum)
Consider Goals
Are the Goals Clear? Is the “how” (means) embedded? Goal: to write about the stages of butterfly metamorphosis New Goal: provide an example that demonstrates understanding of the stages of butterfly metamorphosis
Are Barriers Embedded in the Goals? Goal: Draw a scaled picture graph and a scaled bar graph to represent a data set with several categories. New Goal: Create a visual representation of a data set with several categories.
DIY Goal: New Goal:

Challenges? Vegetarian Lactose- intolerant Gluten-free
