Intentional Design and theK-3 ELA Redesigned Curriculum
Morning Workshop F: 10:45 - 12:00
Session Objectives
•how the principles of Universal Design for Learning and
Differentiated Instruction can help us design literacy
experiences that engage and include all students
•how to use the Big Ideas, Learning Standards and the
Core Competencies as the framework for planning K-3
literacy instruction

Two Universal Truths
Every student does not learn the same way
Every student does not develop at the same speed

What Is Differentiated Instruction?
Differentiated Instruction (or DI) focuses on: who we teach, where we teach, and how we teach.
Its primary goal is ensuring effective learning for varied individuals.
From - Integrating Differentiated Instruction and Understanding By Design- Tomlinson & McTighe
Differentiated Instruction (or DI) focuses on:
This approach can also be called responsive teaching.
Line of Logic for Differentiating Instruction
Adapted from - Carol Ann Tomlinson - How to Differentiate Instruction: Twenty Years and Counting - ASCD
All kids learn
differently
All kids need to be
challenged and to
experience success to
learn effectively
This is done by embracing
student differences, styles in
learning etc.
We attend to student differences through a flexible
approach to teaching
To do this, we prepare an inviting
environment, use
assessment to inform
instruction & use effective
classroom management

Planning for Differentiated Instruction
POPEI’s Planning Strategies to Consider
What Is Universal Design for Learning?
Universal Design for Learning (or UDL) is a framework to improve and optimize teaching and learning for all people based on
scientific insights into how humans learn.
From - www.cast.org & - It's About Time: Planning Interventions and Extensions in Elementary School - Mattos & Buffum
!structures & designs that can be used equally well by everyone
!its roots are in architecture
• to provide guidance and scaffolding
• to consider the systemic and predictable variability of students
• to consider the options for designing instruction that is flexible, effective, and differentiated
UDL Guidelines
UDL emphasizes the importance of planning in advance - of designing curriculum that, from the outset, assumes and plans for
the natural variability of diverse learners.
Who does UDL help? Everyone.
Essential Questions:How am I going to connect with the students, using
multiple means of engagement?the “why" of learning
How am I going to teach, using multiple means of representation?
the “what" of learning
How am I going to assess student learning, allowing them to use multiple means of action & expression?
the "how" of learning
These questions address the learner variability that exists in every classroom in every school.
If we can predict it, we can plan for it.

how we interact personally, socially & at work - changed forever

adapt to change.”BC Ministry of Education
Brain Friendly Classrooms & Schools"safe and secure environments
• predictable routines & conditions • emotional respect
"collaboration• safe social collaboration • daily opportunities to use dialogue • listening attentively & respecting ideas
"firsthand & multi-sensory experiences• doing the “real thing” • promote brain growth and neural connections
"choice and self-directedness• empowering & engaging • take responsibility for learning • releases dopamine

What Do These Words Mean to You?
•reflect - what does this word mean to you?
•with a marker - write or draw what that word means to you
! this could be a silent activity so that everyone can really think about each word
•circulate around the room and repeat - reflect & share, write/draw
several words have been placed around the room

Considerations for PlanningKnow - Do - Understand - model of learning
Start with strengths and passions
Big Ideas - translate into Essential Questions
Assessment - For, As, Of Learning
Learning Opportunities • cross-curricular connections, Core Competencies, Aboriginal perspectives,
inquiry/project-based, technology, place-based, community learning, visual literacy
Other Considerations• learning environment, scaffolded supports, differentiated learning,
student groupings, student voice and choice

What We Want the Students To…UNDERSTAND - Big Ideas
! stories and other texts help us learn about ourselves and our families! through listening and speaking, we connect with others and share our world
! living things have life cycles adapted to their environment (Science)
! living things have features and behaviours that help them survive in their environment (Science)
DO - Curricular Competencies! use developmentally appropriate reading, listening and viewing strategies to make meaning! recognize First Peoples stories (including oral and written narratives), songs, and art, as ways to share
knowledge (Science)! demonstrate curiosity and a sense of wonder about the world (Science)! identify First Peoples perspectives and knowledge as sources of information (Science)
KNOW - Content! structure/elements of story! living things make changes to accommodate daily and seasonal cycles (Science)
! behavioural adaptations of animals in the local environment (Science)
! First Peoples use of their knowledge of life cycles (Science)
