Accommodations vs modifications
change how a student learns the material. help kids learn the same material and meet the same expectations as their classmates. Modifications changes what a student is taught or expected to learn. Kids who are far behind their peers may need changes, or modifications, to the curriculum. Jillian Do activity here Accommodations: Extended time, frequent breaks, changes in classroom, preferential seating, manipulatives, graphic organizer, pre-teaching Modifications: Specialized curriculum, simplified tests, different grading standards, testing adaptations

Personal Inventory. Real person. Reinforcement: determine what student’s interests are and have the student/students work towards earning that goal. Show the students it pays to behave

*Instructional Approaches: Universal Design for Learning
Jillian Architecture-based CAST: Center for Applied Special Technology. Educational research/ development org. expands learning for all individuals through UDL. Goals: improve access, participation, and progress in the general education curriculum Challenges: anticipate, reduce, and/or eliminate barriers by creating flexible curricula NOT JUST FOR SWD!!!! About CAST: Founded in 1984, CAST has earned international recognition for its development of innovative, technology-based educational resources and strategies based on the principles of Universal Design for Learning (UDL). CAST staff includes specialists in education research and policy, neuropsychology, clinical/school psychology, technology, engineering, curriculum development, K-12 professional development, and more. By defining UDL and exploring its practical applications, CAST is pushing the boundaries of education research, practice, and policymaking UDL is designed to improve access, participation, and progress in the general education curriculum UDL challenges teachers to anticipate, reduce, and/or eliminate barriers by creating flexible curricula

Expression Representation Engagement *Multiple Means of : Jillian
Expression: Flexibility in the way students demonstrate understanding More ways to demonstrate learning Representation: Flexibility in the way information is presented More ways to access Engagement: Flexibility in the way students are engaged in what they are learning More ways to participate

*UDL Premise Curricula should consider student
Barriers to learning Students are NOT the problem Accessibility for ALL Curricula should consider student differences at the outset… as opposed to retrofitting existing instructional plans. (Meyer & Rose, 2005) Jaime Barriers occur as diverse learners interact with curriculum (e.g., nonreaders working with text) The curriculum, instruction, and assessment are the problem, NOT the students Accessibility is a broad construct that includes physical, cognitive, social, and cultural influences Curricula should consider student differences at the outset… as opposed to retrofitting existing instructional plans (Meyer & Rose, 2005)
19
*Brain Networks Recognition Strategic Affective
What of Learning – we can identify and understand information or concepts “WHAT is this?” Strategic How of Learning –we can plan, execute, and self-monitor “HOW am I going to do that?” Affective Why of Learning –we can engage in learning as we make it important to ourselves “WHY should I do this?” Jillian UDL enhances instruction by supporting primary neural networks in the brain: What? receive and analyze How? allow individuals to plan and carry out activities Why? Motivation and establishing priorities
