2 Objectives for this session:
Nancy Objectives for this session: Become familiar with principles of Universal Design for Learning See examples of UDL in lesson design Identify what you already do that is UDL, and brainstorm where you might insert flexible materials

Rose Universal Design – history First: The American Disabilities Act prompted rethinking about architectural design for disabled individuals. Now: UDL has been applied to education because the technology is more available and provides more access for all learners. Next: The concept of UDL was applied to communication - web page designs, TTY telephone access, voice recognition software, etc. Video from Nonprofit CAST= the Center for Applied Special Technology

Rose Graphic tools – i.e. Inspiration, Kidspiration, Word tools Keyboarding with spelling supports – i.e. Co:Writer, MS Word spellcheck, WYNN, word banks Narration, audio recording, podcasts Multimedia tools- i.e. PowerPoint, Photostory 3, Clicker 5, Inspiration, SMART Notebook 3-D models Artistic displays – i.e. drawings, collages, paintings Data displays – i.e. graphs and charts

10 Multiple Means of Engagement
Nancy Infused throughout your classroom Student choices Audio/visual/hands on SMART Response clickers Multimedia Project-based inquiry , blogging, wikis Collaborative learning

11 Why Universal Design for Learning?
Nancy Why Universal Design for Learning? Teachers are accountable for the learning of diverse students: Learning disabilities Sensory and physical disabilities English language barriers Background and cultural diversity Emotional or behavioral problems Lack of interest or motivation

12 The Science behind Universal Design for Learning
Rose The Science behind Universal Design for Learning Brain Networks – each person is unique Show video Recognition Networks – The way we gather facts (What) Strategic Networks – The way we plan and perform tasks (How) Affective Network – The way we are engaged and motivated (Why)

13 Theory to Practice: How to implement UDL
Nancy Theory to Practice: How to implement UDL Curriculum needs to incorporate flexible materials Teachers need to be proactive rather than reactive after students falter General educators and special educators must collaborate Embed UDL concepts to release the learning potential of ALL your students.

14 Theory to practice: Technology is a tool
