Social and Emotional Wellbeing•Underpins the other four “petals” of my framework

•Realise and understand fullest potential and be able to fully function as part of society

•If not addressed, can unfold into later problems in learning engagement and social interactions with peers

•Strongly linked to cognitive growth

•Promoting expectations and beliefs that optimise motivation connects to UDL

Formative Assessment•Need to generate understanding of student learning

•Allows opportunities to adjust future learning

•Allows opportunities for feedback

•Lack of formative assessment affects self-efficacy beliefs

•Encouraging formative feedback and self-assessment is an important aspect of UDL

Authentic + Discovery Learning Experiences•Constructivist learning environment

•John Dewey,, Jean Piaget, and Lev Vygotsky

•Learning is connected to real-world and is relevant to learners

•Hands-on and problem-solving activities rather than knowledge transfer

•Sustained investigation

•Making learning outcomes authentic, communicating to real audiences, and reflecting a purpose links to UDL

Differentiation•Flexibility in

• Learning content• Resources• Instruction• Student output • Assessment

•Learners have a variety of needs and styles

•Front-load diversity

•Enables maximisation of students capabilities

•Providing alternatives in requirements , as well as physical responses and interactions connects concept to UDL

Will not always be able to employ my preferences for cognitivism and contructivism

Provide safe, supportive environment to maximise cognitive abilities

Make educated decisions on future learning

Increase independence and engagement

Cater for all individuals
