www.urbanschools.org Great Urban Schools: Learning Together Builds Strong Communities UDL Assessment Purpose The purpose of assessment based on Universal Designs is to make the assessment task accessible to all students; it does not intend to lower standards or “water down” performance of assessment. (Johnstone, Altman & Thurlow, 2006)

www.urbanschools.org Great Urban Schools: Learning Together Builds Strong Communities UDL Assessment in Science Needs assistance accessing printed text accessing printed text Consider: The student’s summative knowledge of the process of erosion Demonstrates knowledge verbally, through drawing, or through voice-to-text word processing software Uses text to speech software for access to curriculum content for access to curriculum content What supports and strategies does the student use regularly? What are the student’s learning needs? What is the teacher trying to find out?

www.urbanschools.org Great Urban Schools: Learning Together Builds Strong Communities Determining Outcomes to be Assessed What we want students to know and be able to do as a result of completing a learning activity? Student learning outcomes in culturally responsive classrooms take into account and integrate what students want to learn Determine desired learning outcomes
10
www.urbanschools.org Great Urban Schools: Learning Together Builds Strong Communities Culturally Responsive Progress Monitoring Determine desired learning desired learning outcomes outcomes Types of Learning Outcomes Dispositions Skills Products Knowledge Reasoning Students will be able to name four alternative/renewable energy sources. Students will be able to read aloud from an article in a science magazine for kids at 60 words per minute at a 95% or higher accuracy rate. Students can design, carry out, and write a social science research study on ways to improve energy consumption. Students will be able to compare and contrast the impacts of using non- renewable and renewable energy sources. Students will be able to give three reasons why it is important in a democratic society for adults to have a solid knowledge of science.

www.urbanschools.org Great Urban Schools: Learning Together Builds Strong Communities No one form of assessment can address all of our questions about student learning. Determine desired learning outcomes Create or select universally designed progress monitoring tools Creating/Selecting Assessment Tools
12
www.urbanschools.org Great Urban Schools: Learning Together Builds Strong Communities Culturally Responsive UDL Assessments Create or select appropriate progress appropriate progress monitoring tools monitoring tools Selected Response Essay Performance Assessments Personal Communication Computer-based or paper-and-pencil objective tests such as multiple-choice, true/false, fill-in-the- blank and matching items Question(s) that require original written responses, which are evaluated based on specified scoring criteria Teacher listens to a student’s response and then makes judgments about the quality of the response. Students demonstrate a skill or prepare a product, which are assessed based on observation of the skill or evaluation of the product. Portfolio Assessments Students and teachers collect student work over time across content areas and to reflect on students’ progress over time.
