Freedom of Choice
![Page 2: Freedom of Choice by Design in Education](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022020110/554b6eb8b4c905030a8b5133/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
American Public Education
has a challenge…
![Page 3: Freedom of Choice by Design in Education](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022020110/554b6eb8b4c905030a8b5133/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
we must educate
students, all of them
![Page 4: Freedom of Choice by Design in Education](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022020110/554b6eb8b4c905030a8b5133/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Traditionally, we’ve done this by
trying to…
teach everyone
the same way
![Page 5: Freedom of Choice by Design in Education](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022020110/554b6eb8b4c905030a8b5133/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Some of these we’ve supplemented with technology
![Page 6: Freedom of Choice by Design in Education](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022020110/554b6eb8b4c905030a8b5133/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
What if we were all made to read the same book, use the same phone, watch the same movie, drive
the same car, and work in the same job?
Everyone would
be miserable
![Page 7: Freedom of Choice by Design in Education](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022020110/554b6eb8b4c905030a8b5133/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Everyone is
different.
How do we reach
everyone?

Enter Universal Design for Learning (UDL)
![Page 9: Freedom of Choice by Design in Education](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022020110/554b6eb8b4c905030a8b5133/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
UDL has three pillars
1. Multiple Means of Engagement
![Page 10: Freedom of Choice by Design in Education](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022020110/554b6eb8b4c905030a8b5133/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
UDL has three pillars
2. Multiple Means of Representation
3. Multiple Means of Action and Expression
![Page 11: Freedom of Choice by Design in Education](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022020110/554b6eb8b4c905030a8b5133/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
But every solution…
Brings new challenges
![Page 12: Freedom of Choice by Design in Education](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022020110/554b6eb8b4c905030a8b5133/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
UDL is widely known as a special education initiative.

Perception is… UDL is too complicated and time consuming to implement
![Page 14: Freedom of Choice by Design in Education](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022020110/554b6eb8b4c905030a8b5133/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
How do we get the message across to all educators?
![Page 15: Freedom of Choice by Design in Education](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022020110/554b6eb8b4c905030a8b5133/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
The same way brands do… with a slogan
Just Do It
I’m Lovin’ It
Finger Lickin’
Good
The Best A Man Can Get
Think Different
![Page 16: Freedom of Choice by Design in Education](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022020110/554b6eb8b4c905030a8b5133/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
If we could boil UDL into a short,
easy to remember
phrase, what would it be?
![Page 17: Freedom of Choice by Design in Education](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022020110/554b6eb8b4c905030a8b5133/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
When an educator goes to plan a lesson, what should they keep in mind?
![Page 18: Freedom of Choice by Design in Education](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022020110/554b6eb8b4c905030a8b5133/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Provide Options
![Page 19: Freedom of Choice by Design in Education](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022020110/554b6eb8b4c905030a8b5133/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)

This is what we chant from the rooftops, it’s what every educator
needs to hear and feel.
![Page 21: Freedom of Choice by Design in Education](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022020110/554b6eb8b4c905030a8b5133/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
As you travel back to schools and you share what you’ve learned,
I hope it’s this… when designing & implementing lessons,
provide options.
Give students the freedom to make choices about how best
they’d like to learn.
