Outcomes At the end of this webinar you should be able to: -Name the three UDL principles and match them with WIDA supports. -List and describe students’ needs and strengths based on data and daily contact. -Design a lesson plan based on students’ needs and strengths. -Deliver a lesson using UDL principles that fit the needs of ELLs while the other students benefit from the approach.
How canUniversal Design for Learning (UDL) help English Language Learners (ELLs)?
Universal Design for Learning (UDL) • A set of principles for curriculum development that applies to the general education curriculum to promote learning environments that meet the needs of all learners.
What is WIDA and what does it have to do with UDL? • WIDA (World-class Instructional Design and Assessment) Consortium is the model instrument that the NCDPI has selected to be implemented throughout North Carolina. • Among the many resources that WIDA offers we can mention the W-APT identification assessment, the ACCESS assessment, and the ELP Standards.
WIDA Supports • Another tool that WIDA has developed is the “supports.” • Support is an instructional strategy or tool used to assist students in accessing content necessary for classroom understanding or communication. • Some support may include teaching techniques such as modeling, feedback or questioning. Others involve the students using visuals, interacting with others, or using their senses to construct oral or written meaning.
WIDA Supports • If my classroom looks like this… Using WIDA Supports/UDL might help so that it looks like this…

WIDA Graphic Support •Charts • Graphic organizers • Tables • Graphs • Timelines • Number lines UDL Principle II: Multiple Means of Action and Expression • Authentic product creation • Role play • Multimedia product • Podcasting • Music/Rap • Online projects • Charts • Oral telling • Total physical response (TPR) • Interpretive dance • Interactive stations
WIDA • Interactive Support • In pairs or partners • In triads or small groups • • In a whole group • • Using cooperative group • Structures • • With the Internet (Web • sites) or software programs • • In the native language (L1) • • With mentors UDL Principle III:Multiple Means of Engagement • Real-life examples • Personal relationship • Authentic grouping • Virtual fieldtrips • Virtual guests speakers • Project-based learning • Student centered activities • Interviews • Active interaction • Technology

TASK 1 (Reflection)for Teachers and Administrators • After watching the videos reflect EITHER on the math lesson delivery and name some UDL Principle strategies used throughout the lesson OR you may rather reflect on the interview with Dr. Rose. • To access the Reflection Sheet, go to the module 1 page and click on “Module 1 Documents.”
Getting to Know your Students Need/Strength Chart (Sample) Duplin County Schools Module I: Universal Design for Learning (UDL) Needs/Strengths Chart Teacher Name: Carlos SosaSubject: ESL Grade: 9 School: BOE -You can access the Need/Strength Chart by going to the Module 1 page and clicking on Module 1 Documents
Task 2: For Teachers Choose one of the groups you teach and create a Need/Strength chart similar to the sample to incorporate UDL strategies to your lesson plan. You may create a modified version of your regular lesson plan format for this task. (2hrs.)/***Product of Learning: Need/Strength Chart and Lesson Plan
Task 2: For Administrators • Use one of your teachers’ lesson plans and explain how it can be improved by using UDL Principles. Give suggestions as to some of the things you would like the teacher to incorporate in the lesson delivery when you come to observe the lesson. • You can access the Administrator’s Reflection Sheet on the Module 1 page.
Task3: For Teachers • Use the lesson plan you have created to teach a lesson using UDL principles. After delivering, write a reflective paragraph on your lesson. Tell us about the challenges, outcomes, and how the lesson benefited both ELLs and mainstream students. • The Reflection sheet can be found on the Module 1 page, by clicking on Module 1 Documents (1hr.)
Task 3: For Administrators • From an administrator’s point of view, and based on your school’s reality, do you think UDL can be a good instrument at your learning center? Why? Why not?
