To understand the UDL Guidelines To consider applications to practice Afternoon Goals:
Identify & interpret patterns of sound, light, taste, smell, and touch Recognition Network: “what of learning”
Variability & Recognition network Count how many times the players wearing white pass the basketball. CAST 2012
“We are designed to focus on whatever we are looking for.” Jill Bolte Taylor, Stroke of Insight
Context & Recognition Network: What is this?
CAST 2012 Options for presenting information Customize display Alternatives for auditory & visual information
CAST 2012 Options for language & symbols Vocabulary, symbols Cross-language supports Multi-media
CAST 2012 background knowledge Highlight patterns Maximize transfer Options for comprehension
UDL is a framework For thinking & reflecting about lessons For addressing variability & context for learning
Plan, execute, monitor actions & skills Strategic Networks: “how of learning” CAST©2008
Phineas Gage: frontal lobe
CAST 2012 Options for physical actions Vary methods of response Provide access to tools & assistive technology
CAST 2012 Options for expressive skills & fluency Tools to communicate & compose Graduated levels of support for practice
Consider GOAL: Drawing: ‘What is a pioneer’
Recording: ‘What is a pioneer?’ Student: ‘A pioneer is a person who has left their home to go West.’
Writing: ‘What is a pioneer?’ “A pioneer is a person that has chosen or is forced to leave their home. A pioneer leaves their home or cabin in a covered wagon. They didn’t have construction builders, so they would make everything out of nature. They would travel up and down mountains and up and down lakes, rivers, and streams.”
CAST 2012 Options for executive functions Clear goals Support planning & monitoring process
What strategies are used to reach the goal? CAST 2012
Importance of goals:
Reflect (elbow buddy) How do Multiple Means of Action & Expression provide a context that supports learner variability? What strategies do you already use that support this Principle?
Break
Evaluate & set priorities Affective Networks: “why of learning”
Variability in appraisal/activation
Resources: one’s perceived skills & resources Demands Perceived level of challenge in environment Perception: Resources vs. Demands
Perceived Resources & Demands:
Pause & reflect : What are demands on you in your environment? What are your resources?
CAST 2012 Options for recruiting interest Options for choice, autonomy Authentic, relevant Minimize distractions
CAST 2012 Options for sustaining effort & persistence Salient goals Vary demands, optimize challenge Collaboration Mastery oriented feedback
Mastery-oriented feedback (Dweck, 2006) Process > End product “I like how you…” Skills > innate trait You’re so smart. You’re a natural You worked on your supporting details… You kept at it, even though the cutting was tricky…
CAST 2012 Options for self-regulation Optimize motivation, coping strategies Self assessment & reflection

Discuss What evidence did you observe of checkpoints? What were some resources/demands? How can UDL Guidelines be used to reflect on ways to modify lesson for next time? How does this apply to your practice (administrators, teachers)?
Reflect on your learning about UDL – Plan & design lessons to consider Variability Learning context – Use UDL Guidelines to proactively design and reflect upon lessons towards the goal
UDL & your practice? Recognition: “what” – Multiple means representation Strategy: “how” – Multiple means of action & expression Affect: “why” – Multiple means of engagement
This workshop: build awareness
Reflect What new ideas resonated in a way that may influence what you do in your practice?
