This, or… That…
Universal Design for Learning
![Page 4: Differentiated Instruction Part II CCNY/RTC](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56816948550346895de0dbf6/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Why Differentiate?
• One size doesn’t fit all
• Students learn at different rates
• Students bring different background knowledge to any unit of study
• Students learn best in different ways
![Page 5: Differentiated Instruction Part II CCNY/RTC](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56816948550346895de0dbf6/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Review of DI – 1…
Gardner’s Multiple Intelligence Theory There is no g (general intelligence) but rather
multiple, distinct intelligences.
People have many multifaceted learning capacities and NOT one global learning capacity A challenge in one area may be countered by
extraordinary ability in another

Ask yourself…What are some of the barriers that disabled
students face in my classroom?Can you think of a certain student, or group
of students, that have no way of accessing materials in your classroom?
What am I doing to overcome these barriers?What is my school doing?Is your school designed to meet the needs of
disabled students?
![Page 8: Differentiated Instruction Part II CCNY/RTC](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56816948550346895de0dbf6/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
What is Universal Design???
"Universal" does not imply a single optimal solution for
everyone. Instead, it is meant to underscore the need for
multiple approaches to meet the needs of diverse learner.

Universal Design for Learning
How can teachers respond to individual differences? UDL provides a blueprint
for creating flexible goals, methods, materials, and assessments that accommodate learner differences.
Making Curriculum “adjustable” and “flexible” rather than accommodating and modifying for certain students
![Page 10: Differentiated Instruction Part II CCNY/RTC](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56816948550346895de0dbf6/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
How did this idea develop?
Universal Design for Learning is an extension of an architectural movement called universal design
The idea behind universal design in architecture is to create structures that are conceived, designed, and constructed to accommodate the widest spectrum of users, including those with disabilities, without the need for subsequent adaptation or specialized design.Ron Mace; architect, product designer and
educator – University of N.C.

Universal Design for ALL…
Curb cuts were originally intended to support individuals in wheelchairs, but many others use them—including those with baby strollers, bikes, skateboards, grocery carts and luggage with wheels. This simple technology developed for the small number of individuals who use wheelchairs, in fact, benefits many in our society.

3 Key Principles…
1. Teachers can offer various ways to REPRESENT essentials core conceptsMultiple ways of presenting material
2. Teachers can offer various ways to encourage student ENGAGEMENT
How will I get everyone’s attention?3. Teachers can offer students various formats
for EXPRESSION of what they have learnedNot just one assessment for all…

Donna PalleySpecial Education Coordinator/Technology Specialist for the Concord, New Hampshire School System
The concept of UDL is the intersection where all our initiatives – integrated units, multi-sensory teaching, multiple intelligences, differentiated instruction, use of computers in schools, performance-based assessments, and others – come together.
![Page 15: Differentiated Instruction Part II CCNY/RTC](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56816948550346895de0dbf6/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
So what about technology???
UDL uses technology's power and flexibility to make education more inclusive and effective for all.
You don’t HAVE to use it, but it’s there for people that NEED to use it.
![Page 16: Differentiated Instruction Part II CCNY/RTC](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56816948550346895de0dbf6/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Importance of this???
UDL helps educators meet the needs of diverse learners by removing barriers or blockages from the actual learning process
Providing alternatives will allow students to access and engage in learning
Reduce the need for individualized accommodations and modifications
![Page 17: Differentiated Instruction Part II CCNY/RTC](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56816948550346895de0dbf6/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

What’s better about UDL?
UDL recognizes the reality of diversity
UDL is built right from the start It is more efficient than individual solutions It benefits more students and teachers It supports access for all students in the General
Education Curriculum as required by NCLB and IDEA
![Page 27: Differentiated Instruction Part II CCNY/RTC](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56816948550346895de0dbf6/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Key principles of UDL
1. Teachers can offer various ways to REPRESENT essentials core conceptsMultiple ways of presenting material
2. Teachers can offer various ways to encourage student ENGAGEMENT
How will I get everyone’s attention?3. Teachers can offer students various formats

Key Questions…
Do you wish more of your students understood the concepts, information, and materials you are teaching?
Are you as knowledgeable as you would like to be about meeting the learning styles of ALL of your students?
Do you wish that you knew more ways to take advantage of the teaching technology available today?
Do you want to explore more ways you can make students feel more comfortable and competent in the classroom?
Are you working toward innovative ways to improve your teaching skills?

Research shows…
Neuroscience – Brain ResearchThree brain networks
1. RecognitionIdentifying and categorizing
2. StrategicPlanning and performing
3. AffectiveEngagement, emotion, and motivation
![Page 32: Differentiated Instruction Part II CCNY/RTC](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56816948550346895de0dbf6/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Recognition Network
Knowledge networks: “the what of learning”
- Identify and interpret patterns of sound, light, taste, smell, and touch
- Also known as the “knowledge” network
- Modules are located in the back of the brain
![Page 33: Differentiated Instruction Part II CCNY/RTC](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56816948550346895de0dbf6/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Recognition
In a classroom, the recognition networks are essential to learning; students are expected to identify letters, formulas, maps, ideas, cause/effect relationships, etc.
Everyday examples of recognition networks in action include identifying ingredients for recipes, telling the difference between shampoo and shaving cream so you can wash your hair, identifying the smell of freshly cut grass, recognizing the sound of pain or joy, etc.
![Page 34: Differentiated Instruction Part II CCNY/RTC](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56816948550346895de0dbf6/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Strategic Network
Strategic networks: “the how of learning”
- plan, execute, and monitor actions and skills
Located in the front of the brain
![Page 35: Differentiated Instruction Part II CCNY/RTC](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56816948550346895de0dbf6/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Strategic
The strategic networks are located in the front part of the brain and enable us to plan, execute, and monitor actions and skills.
In learning situations, the strategic networks are critical. Examples of the strategic networks at work include: doing a project, taking a test, taking notes, listening to a lecture.
They work in tandem with recognition networks to learn to read, compute, write, solve problems, plan and execute compositions and complete projects. Everyday examples of the strategic networks in action include cooking a meal, planning an outing, executing a golf swing, driving a car, etc.
![Page 36: Differentiated Instruction Part II CCNY/RTC](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56816948550346895de0dbf6/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Affective Network
Affective networks: “the why of learning”
- evaluate and set priorities
- Located at the core of the brain
![Page 37: Differentiated Instruction Part II CCNY/RTC](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56816948550346895de0dbf6/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Affective
• In learning situations, affective networks are essential to wanting to learn. Visualize a high school classroom, the night before the prom: “Are students’ affective networks helping focus on the algebra lesson or on the party after the prom?” Visualize the student who has had years of reading failure in a 9th grade English class: “Is this student motivated to read The Odyssey?”
• Everyday examples of the affective networks in action include being motivated to get up extra early to wrap presents for a child, wanting to run to the grocery store to shop for a special dinner after a busy day at work, being nervous before a business presentation, etc. Of course, the affective network does not work in isolation from either the recognition or strategic networks.
![Page 38: Differentiated Instruction Part II CCNY/RTC](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56816948550346895de0dbf6/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Remember the Three Principles
Remember that each of the three UDL principles are based on one of the brain networks.
They are:
Multiple Means of Representation To increase knowledge (formerly recognition) – the “what” of
learning
Multiple Means of Action and Expression To expand strategic abilities - the “how” of learning
Multiple Means of Engagement To enhance involvement - the “why” of learning
![Page 39: Differentiated Instruction Part II CCNY/RTC](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56816948550346895de0dbf6/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
So what does all of this mean???
UDL is an educational approach to teaching, learning, and assessment that draws on new brain research and new media technologies to respond to individual learner differences.
UDL is based on the belief that traditional educational goals, materials, methods and assessments may create barriers for some students.
The three principles of UDL assist teachers in designing inclusive curricula from the start rather than retrofitting it.
![Page 40: Differentiated Instruction Part II CCNY/RTC](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56816948550346895de0dbf6/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
SESSION 3
Applying UDL…using instructional media in the
classroom.
![Page 41: Differentiated Instruction Part II CCNY/RTC](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56816948550346895de0dbf6/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
![Page 42: Differentiated Instruction Part II CCNY/RTC](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56816948550346895de0dbf6/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Traditional Digital
SpeechText Images
This type of media is helpful and necessary, but it is inflexible
Voice on an electronic device
E-text, E-booksDigital Images
This type of media is flexible…it can be manipulated over and over again
SO WHAT ABOUT MEDIA???
![Page 43: Differentiated Instruction Part II CCNY/RTC](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56816948550346895de0dbf6/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Traditional Speech
Students must use all three brain networks in order to gain the full scope of speech.
How many times do we say to kids: “Can’t you just sit there and listen?” or “I’m not asking you TO DO something, I’m asking you NOT TO DO something.
Recognition – words, facial cuesStrategic – listening, staying
focusedAffective – understanding the
message that’s being sent
Advantages:Speech is versatile and expressive. You
can capture an audience if you are a good speaker.
Limitations:Speech is transient
![Page 44: Differentiated Instruction Part II CCNY/RTC](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56816948550346895de0dbf6/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Traditional Text
Students must use all three brain networks in order to gain the full scope of text.
There are so many forms of text: newspaper, novels, poems, reference books…must approach in a different manner.
Recognition – letters, words, sounds
Strategic – comprehension and meaning
Affective – emotional connection and interest
AdvantagesText is permanent, you can make
certain changes if neededLimitations
Too many forms, lacks expressive power
![Page 45: Differentiated Instruction Part II CCNY/RTC](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56816948550346895de0dbf6/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Traditional Images
Students must use all three brain networks in order to gain the full scope of text.Images present all information at once.Images may present a problem for the viewer who is emotionally preoccupied. It may cause a skewed view. Images may also cause a problem for a viewer who is disengaged and not involved enough.
Recognition – Must recognize all parts of image
Strategic – Interpret image, pick apart
Affective – Emotional Component (May be too connected or too disengaged)
AdvantagesNo decoding involved, no path to
followLimitations
Not ideal for all types of information
![Page 46: Differentiated Instruction Part II CCNY/RTC](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56816948550346895de0dbf6/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)

Guidelines for Applying UDL
Class Climate. Adopt practices that: reflect high values with respect to both diversity and
inclusiveness.
Physical Environments/Products. Assure that activities, materials, and equipment are
physically accessible to and usable by all students and that all potential student characteristics are addressed in safety considerations.
Delivery Methods. Use multiple accessible instructional methods.
![Page 50: Differentiated Instruction Part II CCNY/RTC](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56816948550346895de0dbf6/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
Cont…
Information Resources/Technology. Assure that course materials, notes, and other
information resources are engaging, flexible, and accessible to all students.
Interaction. Encourage effective interactions between students
and the instructor and assure that communication methods are accessible to all participants.
Feedback. Provide specific feedback on a regular basis.
![Page 51: Differentiated Instruction Part II CCNY/RTC](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56816948550346895de0dbf6/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
Cont…
Assessment. Regularly assess student progress using multiple,
accessible methods and tools and adjust instruction accordingly.
Accommodation. Plan for accommodations for students for whom the
instructional design does not meet their needs.
![Page 52: Differentiated Instruction Part II CCNY/RTC](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56816948550346895de0dbf6/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
UDL Materials and Activities
Present students with a range of options for learningAlternative activities allow individuals with wide
differencesin their abilities to achieve learning goals:
to see, hear, speak, move, read, write, understand English, pay attention, organize, engage, or remember—
Information is presented to students through multiplemeans such as audio, video, text, speech, Braille,
photographs, or images.Allows students to use multiple means to express
whatthey know through writing, speaking, drawing, or videorecording.
![Page 53: Differentiated Instruction Part II CCNY/RTC](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56816948550346895de0dbf6/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
Examples of Universal Design inLearning
If a student learns best through listening, he or she can use
a computer to read stories and information aloud, or to
pronounce new words.If a student learns more easily with large print,
curriculummaterials can easily be provided in this format.If a student can explain things best by using wordprocessing software and a keyboard rather than
usingpencil and paper, then that will be the method of
choice.If a student struggles to identify the most
important pointsor organize information, he or she can use a
computerprogram that helps students learn by doing.

NIMAS
National Instructional Materials Accessibility Standard
Digital versions of text books available to students with print disabilities…
Big question? What qualifies as a print disability? Blindness, multiple handicaps…but what else?
