  1. Universal Design for Learning:A framework for meeting the needs of all students Dr. Patti Ralabate, UDL Fellow CAST & Boston College December 1, 2010

  2. Outcomes • Gain and demonstrate understanding of UDL Principles

  3. The Challenge All students have different learning needs, abilities, and preferences

  4. Universal Design for Learning “A scientifically valid framework for guiding educational practice” (Source: Higher Education Opportunity Act of 2008)

  5. What is UDL? Simply put, UDL is the practice of embedding flexible strategies into curriculum during the planning process so that all students can access a variety of learning solutions. • Universal design for learning (UDL) anticipates the needs of diverse learners.

  6. What is UDL Continued? Universal design for learning (UDL) is a framework for removing barriers by anticipating the needs of all students

  7. Why UDL? • Too many students • Diverse student needs • Lack of instructional time • Lack of resources & supports • Rigid curriculum & instructional materials • Cost of time & money for retro-fitting

  8. Access & Equity is Built-in Designed from the outset to meet the needs of all students

  9. Based on brain research • 3 Networks • Recognition – What of learning • Strategic – How of learning • Affective – Why of learning

  10. Principles of UDL Multiple • means of representation • means of action and expression • means of engagement - CAST -

  11. Multiple Means ofRepresentation Examples • Read aloud • Highlight phrases • Listen to audiotape • Text-to-speech • Built-in talking glossary • Built-in language translation

  12. Multiple Means of Action and Expression • Written response • Verbal response • Visual art project • Dramatic response • iMovie (Macintosh) • Multimedia: Power Point, Hyperstudio

  13. MultipleMeans of Engagement • Flexibility in use of tools to access information • Keep ongoing personal journal • Use archived resources • Choice in means of expression • Flexible grouping strategies

  14. FROM: Fixing the student TO: Designing the curriculum for all students CONCEPTUAL SHIFT

  17. UDL - framework & set of principles - ALL students with equal opportunities to learn.

  18. Exploration • Break into Groups based on how you want to explore the topic of UDL further: • Websites • App on your phone • UDL wheel and chart

  19. Explore • Review the Principles and Options of UDL • Identify Principles and Options you observed in today’s presentation? • Share what UDL Principles and Options that could have been added to today’s presentation?

  20. Share Share: • 1) Computer program and come up plug in (example: Pixie, ComicLife, Kidspiration, Wordle) • 2) Poster • 3) Written Chart • 4) Video (imovie record from your laptop or Quicktime screen capture) • 5) Stand and share • 6) Create your own way to share
