2. #UDL4Justice

3. Today we will: #UDL4Justice
Learn more about the SIOP model for teaching English Language Learners in Inclusive Classrooms
Learn how integrating principles of Universal Design for Learning with SIOP improves teaching and learning for English Learners and ALL students in inclusive classrooms
Discuss how unleashing the synergy of SIOP and UDL can lead to more meaningful assessment of both academic knowledge and language proficiency  
Work with a lesson planning template that combines SIOP with UDL
Join in discussions related to the challenges inherent in working for social justice through education
Discuss how we as educators can work together to meet the challenges of providing educational equity and eliminating the achievement gap
#UDL4Justice

4. We will also:
Learn to use specific web-based programs, apps for iPads and other tablet computers, and Smart Board technology to facilitate multiple means of representation, engagement and expression for English Language Learners
Join in discussions related to the challenges inherent in working for social justice through education
Discuss how we as educators can work together to meet the challenges of providing educational equity and eliminating the achievement gap.

5. Social Justice and Education
While the American educational system is supposed to mediate differences and provide equal opportunities for ALL students, schools often reinforce and reproduce injustice.
Conference on English Education
(2009)

6. For social justice to exist in our schools each student in our classrooms must have the same opportunities for academic achievement regardless of background or acquired privilege.
We must stop privileging one type of learner and begin empowering all learners.

7. We believe understanding and applying principles of UDL and the SIOP model will help us work for social justice in our schools.
We can move beyond providing equal access to empowering and providing voice to all learners.

8. Identifying a Need for Action
Achievement gaps are an all-too-present reality in today’s educational landscape. Despite decades of overall progress in narrowing achievement gaps, disparities in educational outcomes related to poverty, English language proficiency, disability, and racial and ethnic background persist.

9. Achievement Gap
Achievement gaps between ELLs and non-ELL students are deeply rooted, pervasive, complex, and challenging. As a group, ELLs face some of the most pronounced achievement gaps of any student groups.

10. At Your Table
Use the large paper and markers to identify barriers to learning that ELL students face in our schools.
EDUCATION IS A HUMAN RIGHT!

11. Unleashing the synergy between UDL and SIOP will help us address and bring an end to this achievement gap.

12. As We Know…
“Universal design for learning (UDL) is a framework to improve and optimize teaching and learning for all people based on scientific insights into how humans learn.”
“UDL guides the design of instructional goals, assessments, methods, and materials that can be customized and adjusted to meet individual needs.”
About CAST
Making Sense of Universal Design for Learning

13. Universal design for learning
UDL principles draw on brain and media research to help educators reach and teach all students by:
setting appropriate learning goals,
choosing and developing effective methods and materials
developing accurate and fair ways to assess students' progress.
addressing each student as an individual with unique needs, interests, and abilities.

14. Universal Design for Learning
“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.” Rose and Meyer (2002) Teaching Every Student in the Digital Age p.vi

15. Three Principles of UDL
Provide multiple means of representation to give learners various ways of acquiring information and knowledge
Provide multiple means of expression to provide learners alternatives for demonstrating what they know
Provide multiple means of engagement to tap into learners’ interests, challenge them appropriately, and motivate them to learn

16. How UDL Supports ELLs
Principles of UDL can be used to guide the development of instructional features that will provide ELLs enhanced access to a variety of grade-level curricula

19. The SIOP Model (Echevarria, Vogt, & Short, 2008)

20. Research definition of sheltered instruction
A means for making grade-level academic content (e.g. science, social studies, math) more accessible for English Language Learners while at the same time promoting their English Language development.
