“These Standards are not intended to be new names for old ways of doing business. They are a call to take the next step. It is time for states to work together to build on lessons learned from two decades of standards based reforms…” “All students must have the opportunity to learn and meet the same high standards if they are to access the knowledge and skills necessary in their post-school lives. The Standards should be read as allowing for the widest possible range of students to participate fully from the outset, along with appropriate accommodations to ensure maximum participation of students with special education needs.” (Math Introduction, pg. 4)

Faces in the crowd If you had 30 students in your classroom… −14 would be male −15 would be female −12 would be eligible to receive free or reduced lunch −3 would be an English Language Learner −5 would have an IEP −1 would end up in an alternative high school −3 would drop out (based on statistics from Kent County)

Universal Design for Learning
14
What is Universal Design? Not one size fits all – but alternatives for everyone. Not added on later – but designed from the beginning. Not access for some – but access for everyone.
15
Universal Design (UD) The design of products and environments to be usable by all people, to the greatest extent possible, without the need for adaptation or specialized design. *See Connell, et al. (1997, April 1). Doylesaylor. (2007, September 17). Afternoon sun raking curb cut. In Flickr [Photograph]. Retrieved June 4, 2008, from http://flickr.com/photos/doyle_saylor/1399859064/
16
Drawbacks of Retrofitting −Each retrofit solves only one local problem −Retrofitting can be costly −Many retrofits are UGLY! What is Universal Design?
17
A Universal Design approach is simply more practical, elegant and effective, since it is always better to build in flexibility from the beginning, rather than try to add it on later.
18
What is Universal Design for Learning (UDL)? The process of building in (rather than adding on) accessibility and achievement supports for diverse learning needs is known as Universal Design for Learning “Consider the needs of the broadest possible range of users from the beginning” -- Architect, Ron Mace

Ramps Curb Cuts Electric Doors Captions on Television Easy Grip Tools… What is Universal Design?

Universal Design for Learning (UDL) “The burden of adaptation should be first placed on the curriculum, not the learner. Because most curricula are unable to adapt to individual differences, we have come to recognize that our curricula, rather than our students, are disabled.” *See Center for Applied Special Technology (2008). Universal design for learning guidelines version 1.0 (p. 4).
23
UDL Principles Provide Multiple Means of Representation (the "what" of learning). Provide Multiple Means of Expression (the "how" of learning). Provide Multiple Means of Engagement (the "why" of learning). * See Center for Applied Special Technology (2008). Universal design for learning guidelines version 1.0 (pp.3-4).

Comparing Two Mathematical Tasks Martha was re-carpeting her bedroom which was 15 feet long and 10 feet wide. How many square feet of carpeting will she need to purchase? −(Stein, Smith, Henningsen, and Silver, 2000, p. 2)
45
Comparing Two Mathematical Tasks Ms. Brown’s class will raise rabbits for their spring science fair. They have 24 feet of fencing with which to build a rectangular rabbit pen in which to keep the rabbits. If Ms. Brown’s students want their rabbits to have has much room as possible, how long would each of the sides of the pen be? How long would each of the sides of the pen be if they had only 16 feet of fencing? How would you go about determining the pen with the most room for any amount of fencing? Organize your work so that someone else who reads it will understand it.
46
How to Read the CCSS Strands/Domains: are larger groups of related standards. Standards from different strands/domains may sometimes be closely related. Clusters: summarize groups of related standards. Note that standards from different clusters may sometimes be closely related, because mathematics is a connected subject. Standards: define what students should understand and be able to do. Common Core Website

Closing the Achievement Gap “Teaching procedures without an understanding of the concepts is like having Christmas ornaments with no tree. If there is nothing to hang the procedures on, the ornaments will be lost.”
50
Christmas Tree Choose a unit from Algebra I or Geometry Determine what concepts and what procedures need to be taught Utilize Curriculum Crafter, your computer, your own genius to develop teaching strategies for your unit Green cutouts = concepts and teaching strategies for the concepts Ornament cutouts = procedures and teaching strategies for the procedures Label the specific UDL guidelines you are hitting with each teaching strategy listed
51
OR… Create your own visual analogy that displays and separates the concepts from the procedures in a particular unit and labels the UDL guidelines
52
Check your work Read through Critical Areas and Unit Overview from the Common Core Appendix to see if there is anything you would like to add to your tree.
53
Next Steps Share ACT research with colleagues Re-create a Christmas Tree (or some such visual like it) A forum will be created in Moodle after the New Year in order for you to provide feedback on how it went See you on February 1, 2011 (Happy Holidays!)
