2. An example… Warm-Up

3. Think, pair, share… Debrief

4. Outline The Myth of Average An overview of UDL Three Essential Ingredients to Consider: Goals, Variability, Context Learning networks: Affective, Recognition, Strategic Application

5. A Video… The Myth of Average

6. 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…

7. Let’s Brainstorm? What is UDL?

8. Universal Design for Learning “UDL is an approach to curriculum that minimizes barriers and maximizes learning for all individuals.”UDL

9. Three Ingredients to UDL 1Goals 2Variability 3Context (environment, curriculum)

10. Consider Goals

11. 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

12. 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.

13. DIY Goal: New Goal:

15. Small Group Activity Example Goal: serve Mexican Lasagna for dinner

16. Challenges? Vegetarian Lactose- intolerant Gluten-free

23. Learning Brain & Variability in UDL Guidelines Affective Network: the “why” –Multiple means of engagement Recognition: the “what” of learning – Multiple means of representation Strategic Network: the “how” –Multiple means of action and expression (c) CAST 2015 #UDL 23

24. Evaluate & set priorities Affective Networks: “why of learning” (c) CAST 2015 #UDL24

25. Identify & interpret patterns of sound, light, taste, smell, and touch Recognition Network: “what of learning” (c) CAST 2015 #UDL25

26. Plan, execute, monitor actions & skills Strategic Networks: “how of learning” (c) CAST 2015 #UDL26
