15. Learning Paths

16. Universal Design

17. Universal Design

18. 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.

19. Universal Design

20. UDL Principles Principal 1: Representation Principal 2:Action and Expression Principal 3:Engagement

21. Recognition Networks The "what" of learning Affective Networks The "why" of learning Strategic Networks The "how" of learning Planning and performing tasks. How we organize and express our ideas. Writing an essay or solving a math problem are strategic tasks. How we gather facts and categorize what we see, hear, and read. Identifying letters, words, or an author's style are recognition tasks. How learners get engaged and stay motivated. How they are challenged, excited, or interested. These are affective dimensions.

22. Principle I: Multiple Means of Representation Represent Act/Express Engage The what of learning • To give diverse learners options for acquiring information and knowledge • Present content in a variety of formats and modalities

23. UDL requires Multiple Means of Representation. Represent Act/Express Engage Multiple Means of Representation Examples:Manipulatives Visual Displays Anticipatory Guides Graphic Organizers Artifacts Videos Music Movement Text Readers

24. Principle II: Multiple Means of Action and Expression Represent Act/Express Engage Judy Augatti

25. UDL requires Multiple Means of Action and Expression. Represent and Act/Express Engage Examples: Thumbs Up/Thumbs Down Gallery Walks Pair/Share Chalkboard/Whiteboard Splash Response Hold-Up Cards Quick Draws Numbered Heads Together Line-Ups

26. Principle III: Multiple Means of Engagement Represent Act/Express Engage

27. UDL requires Multiple Meansof Engagement. Represent Act/Express Engage Examples: Bounce Cards Air Writing Case Studies Role Plays Concept Charades Response Hold-Up Cards Networking Sessions Simulations

28. With UDL more students are: Achieving Motivated • Engaged • Learning

29. Multiple Means of Representation for ELLs(and all language learners . . . ) Represent Act/Express Engage Non-verbal Language Support Word banks Word walls Labels Graphic organizers Sentence starters Sentence frames • Modeling • Pictures • Realia/Concrete objects • Gestures • Manipulatives • Demonstrations • Hands-on • Picture dictionaries

30. Multiple Means of Expressing for ELLs(and all language learners . . . ) Represent Act/Express Engage • Role-play • Illustrations/ Drawings / Visuals • Gestures • Circumlocution • First language

31. Multiple Means ofEngagement for ELLs(and all language learners . . . ) Represent Act/Express Engage • Student Interaction • Oral comprehension supports reading and writing development • Differentiate collaborative activities

32. Learning about Language • What does it say? • What does it mean? • What does it matter?

33. Implications for the Classroomexplicit teaching of language • Create a language-sensitive classroom • Deconstruct/reconstruct complex text • View all languages as assets

34. Activity: WLES Press Release Add approaches or accomplishments from your World Language programs to your cloze media form that highlight UDL principles in action. Connect this information to other content areas from across the curriculum, with a special focus on literacies.

35. Tools and Strategies for Challenging All Learners • Concept-Based Teaching • Tiered Assignments • Project-Based Learning • Curriculum Compacting • Independent Study with Rubrics • Seminars Other: All with appropriate challenge!

36. Non–Negotiables for Gifted Learners • Gifted Children Vary in Needs and Strengths • Mindset of Differentiation in Class, School, LEA • Pre-assessment to understand needs and strengths; Flexible Grouping • Social and Emotional Needs Addressed • Academic and Cognitive Growth Addressed AIG: ALL DAY, EVERY DAY

38. Response to Instruction NC DPI has identified RtI as a research-based school improvement model and provides support to district and school implementation through professional development, technical assistance, and coaching.

39. Problem-Solving, Data, & Decision-Making • Decision making is aided by access to data • Providing instruction on a problem-solving model (TIPS) will result in problem solving that is • Thorough • Logical • Efficient • Effective • Structure of meetings lays foundation for efficiency and effectiveness (Newton et al, 2009)

40. (Newton et al, 2009) Team Initiated Problem Solving (TIPS) Model Identify Problems (Define & Clarify) Develop Hypothesis Evaluate & Revise Action Plan Collect & Use Data Discuss & Select Solutions Develop & Implement Action Plan Problem SolvingMeeting Foundations

41. Addressing the whole child prepares future-ready students who are competitive for work and post-secondary education and prepared for life in the 21st century.

42. Activity: WLES Press Release Finish with a statement that spotlights the State Board of Education’s mission and goals to graduate globally prepared students.
