UDL Model
Differentiation
Similarities of UDL and Differentiation UDL Representation – Will be displayed in all devices through the content on each one of them. Provide students with visuals, charts, table, etc. to help the students visualize the what of learning. Expression – The assistive technology will allow students to express their ideas about what they know about the subject/topic. Engagement – Will be promoted by enhancing the metacognitive part of learning. Exhort motivation to maintain interest in topic. Differentiated Instruction Students are presented with visuals to help students understand concepts. Tiered lessons help students express their understanding and develop their critical thinking skills. Many times students express it with the use of technology support. Students engage in flexible grouping and learning centers to motivate them participate in their learning process.
Differences between UDL and Differentiated Instruction UDL Curriculum planning for all learners. 3 principles: representation, expression, and engagement. Lessons could be differentiated in one or more of the principles, according to students’ needs. Differentiated Instruction Assessment, knowledge and reflection. Using scaffolds to help all learners achieve knowledge and understanding.
Making sure that the UDL will be present by addressing one or more modalities in each lesson. (Visual, kinesthetic, auditory, and the social emotional learner.) The lessons will be differentiated by content, process and product. (Not all of them need to be addressed in one lesson) Content will be presented in different ways: electronic books, auditory texts/articles- reading and listening, and visual aids to enhance understanding. There will be Tier activities according to levels of readability. Assessment – End product, projects, how the student demonstrates the skill mastered. Blending UDL & Differentiation
Graphic organizers ( KWL charts, bubble maps, etc.) Entrance Card /Warm up: prior to lesson, students answer a question or set of questions posed by the teacher. Realia – will be presented to motivate students and engage them in class discussions. How will students depict prior background knowledge?
