Introductions

BPS
How many years in education?
• Less than 2 years
• Between 3 and 10 years
• Over 10 years
• Over 20 years!
3@CAST_UDL | #UDL (C) CAST 2014
Who traveled the furthest to get here today?
• Less than 5 miles, I practically live here!
• Between 5-15 miles
• Between 15-30 miles, but felt like farther!
• Over 30 miles, are you kidding me?!
4@CAST_UDL | #UDL (C) CAST 2014
Where are you in your understanding about UDL?
• Just beginning, what does ‘UDL’ stand for?
• I know a little about UDL
• I talk about UDL with colleagues
• Ask me anything about UDL: I could lead a session!
5@CAST_UDL | #UDL (C) CAST 2014
Goals for today
Build background• To learn how UDL addresses challenges of
learner variability
• To strategize how to apply UDL to practice
6@CAST_UDL | #UDL (C) CAST 2014
UDL implementation: takes time
7@CAST_UDL | #UDL (C) CAST 2014
What are your goals?
• For this workshop today?
• For your professional learning?
8@CAST_UDL | #UDL (C) CAST 2014
9@CAST_UDL | #UDL (C) CAST 2014
RULES:
• Tallest freestanding structure• Entire marshmallow on top• Use as much/little of the contents in bag (not
the bag); can break, cut…
@CAST_UDL | #UDL (C) CAST 2014 10
With Post Its:(2 min)
What is one success you noted?
What is one change you would make next time?
11@CAST_UDL | #UDL (C) CAST 2014
With Sticky Dots(2 min)
Review your team’s Post its
Place a DOT where you agree.
As a team, report one success & one change you would make.
12@CAST_UDL | #UDL (C) CAST 2014
Why begin with this exercise?
Goal driven
14@CAST_UDL | #UDL (C) CAST 2014
UDL Core concept #1:Have a clear goal
Many goals: CCSS, district, lesson, department, WIDA…
• Share goals clearly, all understand
• Consider flexible means to reach goal (UDL)
@CAST_UDL | #UDL (C) CAST 2014 15
@CAST_UDL | #UDL (C) CAST 2014 16
Clear goals matter
UDL Core Concept #2: Variability
Old view of learning:
@CAST_UDL | #UDL (C) CAST 2014 17
New understanding of learning: Variability
18@CAST_UDL | #UDL (C) CAST 2014
Variability
@CAST_UDL | #UDL (C) CAST 2014 19
@CAST_UDL | #UDL (C) CAST 2014
UDL key concept #3: Context matters
@CAST_UDL | #UDL (C) CAST 2014 21
Context matters: even at the DNA level
Goal. Variability. Context.What resonates for your practice?
22@CAST_UDL | #UDL (C) CAST 2014
Elbow buddy discussion
1. Share a key take-away: what resonated?
2. How do UDL core concepts of the goal, variability, & context relate to either the Rubik cube or running shoes?
23@CAST_UDL | #UDL (C) CAST 2014
Questions: 3 key concepts to UDL framework
Goals, Variability, Context
Break
25@CAST_UDL | #UDL (C) CAST 2014
Building Background:
Started ‘in the margins’
26@CAST_UDL | #UDL (C) CAST 2014
Inspired by Universal Design
… “all new environments and products, to the greatest extent
possible, should be usable by everyone regardless of their age,
ability, or circumstance.”
27@CAST_UDL | #UDL (C) CAST 2014
UDL framework:Goal, Variability, Context (design)
28@CAST_UDL | #UDL (C) CAST 2014
Design from beginning to reduce barriers so all can reach the goal
29@CAST_UDL | #UDL (C) CAST 2014
Choose one & discuss: the goal, who else benefits from the design?
Ramp
Curb Cut
Electric Doors
Captions on Television
Easy Grip Tools…
30@CAST_UDL | #UDL (C) CAST 2014
UDL Curriculum: ‘cognitive’ accessibility
Goal, Variability, DesignMake available for all
31@CAST_UDL | #UDL (C) CAST 2014
@CAST_UDL | #UDL (C) CAST 2014 32
In your words, what is the UDL framework?
(write, draw, tweet, build, discuss…)
UDL…• Designs for variability
• Changes the curriculum (context)--not the student
• Clear goal, flexible means
33@CAST_UDL | #UDL (C) CAST 2014
UDL…
A mindset for designing learning experiences
• All individuals can gain knowledge, skills, and enthusiasm for learning
• reduces barriers to the curriculum while maintaining high achievement standards/goals for all
34@CAST_UDL | #UDL (C) CAST 2014
35@CAST_UDL | #UDL (C) CAST 2014
Clearing the path for someone with special needs, clear the path for all.
