Instructional Focus • Laura Rodriguez Letter • Universal Design for Learning (UDL)
UDL is… • a set of principles for curriculum development that give all individuals equal opportunities to learn.
UDL provides… • a blueprint for creating instructional goals, methods, materials, and assessments that work for everyone--not a single, one-size-fits-all solution but rather flexible approaches that can be customized and adjusted for individual needs.
UDL is necessary because… • individuals bring a huge variety of skills, needs, and interests to learning. Neuroscience reveals that these differences are as varied and unique as our DNA or fingerprints.
Recognition Networks • The WHAT of learning • How we gather facts and categorize what we see, hear, and read. Identifying letters, words, or an author's style are recognition tasks.
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.
Affective Networks • The WHY of learning • How learners get engaged and stay motivated. How they are challenged, excited, or interested. These are affective dimensions.
What we know… • We differentiate and find the “in” for our students in their settings on a daily basis • We know that students that are ELL and Special Education students face a different set of needs • We think a lot about comprehensible input and output • We put time into thinking about different, non-traditional ways our students can show what they know
UDL Next steps… • Exploring and learning more about UDL as a group through PDs and small group work at sites • Sharing at our liaison meetings • Sharing work through visits to other schools as we progress with our understanding of UDL
Feedback & Closing • Reminders: • Encounter Attendance by October 15th • Extension Narrative due by October 21st to CFN • First draft of LAP to Enrique & Maria early for feedback • LAP due October 31st (if you were not picked for early turn-in) • We meet again December 13th
