Welcome Back! UDL-NYC Webinar 2 UDL Guidelines May 13, 2013
UDL Connect
Review from last week Post your 30 second ‘elevator’ speech: Someone asks you ‘what is UDL?’ and you answer (before you reach the top floor)…
Our elevator speech UDL is a framework for thinking about the design of learning experiences from the beginning to reach all learners: – Variability is the rule – Learning happens at interaction of the learner in the environment
Goal for today To learn about the general structure of the UDL Guidelines To build background about UDL Guideline 1: Multiple Means of Representation
Learning Brain & UDL Guidelines Recognition: the “what” of learning – Multiple means of representation Strategic Network: the “how” – Multiple means of action and expression Affective Network: the “why” – Multiple means of engagement
3 Principles, 9 Guidelines with checkpoints
Goal of learning: Expert learners Resourceful, knowledgeable Strategic, goal directed Purposeful, motivated
Flexibility using UDL Guidelines Do not have to use them all Often using one guideline supports another Designing learning experiences using the Guidelines may take longer at first, but they work well to support learner variability
David Rose presents: UDL Guidelines
Build lessons that are ‘more full’ Use UDL Guidelines to build upon the design of learning environments that support variability
Post one idea What is one item you learned so far about the UDL Guidelines?
As we discuss the UDL Guidelines, you may want to identify one lesson from your practice that you will analyze.
Focus today: Principle 1
Identify & interpret patterns of sound, light, taste, smell, and touch Recognition Network: “what of learning”
Activate your recognition network: perceptual illusions: ‘tricks’ our perception & expectations Find one optical illusion to share
CAST 2012 Options for presenting information Customize display Alternatives for auditory & visual information
Examples
CAST 2012 Options for language & symbols Vocabulary, symbols Cross-language supports Multi-media
Support vocabulary Plasticity – To change from experience – Like plastic, flexible and can bend – The brain shows plasticity when you use it: it actually gets bigger! – Latin: Moveable, changeable
CAST 2012 Background knowledge Highlight patterns Maximize transfer Options for comprehension
Importance of background information Antiques Roadshow
CAST 2012 Tell Me More: share 1 idea from Principle 1
CAST 2012 Multiple Means of Representation

Educator Worksheet: use to reflect about a lesson:
Reflect: What Options for Perception do you already incorporate in your lesson design? What new ideas do you have based on what you learned today?
Context & Recognition Network: What is this?
Summary: UDL is a framework For thinking & reflecting about lessons For addressing variability, recognizing the importance of the context for learning Questions?
Coming next week: Multiple Means of Action & Expression
