Abstract:
A number of universal design for learning (UDL) approaches will be shared that can be readily incorporated into other classes. Some simple options as well as more complex ones will be offered. These UDL approaches have been developed over the past 15 years by the presenter and other STCC faculty.

Introduction
![Page 5: Easily Adaptable UDL Approaches for any Class by Dawn A. Tamarkin, Ph.D. Springfield Technical Community College As you come in, grab 3 cards and # them.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062603/56649c725503460f9492335b/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
What is Universal Design for Learning?
I am quite familiar with UDL
I am only a little bit familiar with UDL
I know relatively little about UDL

No Worries!
• It’s easy• It’s fun• Even UDL-pros are always learning about it• I use a more applied approach, so even if you
are very familiar with it, I may get you thinking about it differently
![Page 7: Easily Adaptable UDL Approaches for any Class by Dawn A. Tamarkin, Ph.D. Springfield Technical Community College As you come in, grab 3 cards and # them.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062603/56649c725503460f9492335b/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
About UDL…• It helps you address more learners, like:– students with physical/learning disabilities– students with diverse learning styles– students who learn differently than you do– students who feel like they don’t fit in– non-native English speakers
• It’s a method to have a more inclusive class• It prevents singling out particular learners• It tends to be more active and flexible
![Page 8: Easily Adaptable UDL Approaches for any Class by Dawn A. Tamarkin, Ph.D. Springfield Technical Community College As you come in, grab 3 cards and # them.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062603/56649c725503460f9492335b/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
How do you do it?
An oversimplification is to:• Consider one particular type of learner and
consider what they couldn’t do in your class (e.g., a blind student)
• Conversely, consider a challenging topic and come up with a new way to teach it to a student who should have been able to master it
• Create a more inclusive / active atmosphere• see UDLcenter.org

UDL Example
![Page 10: Easily Adaptable UDL Approaches for any Class by Dawn A. Tamarkin, Ph.D. Springfield Technical Community College As you come in, grab 3 cards and # them.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062603/56649c725503460f9492335b/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Example: How can a student who cannot take notes get notes?
• Introduce yourself to the person next to you• Ask each other to answer the topic question• Consider ways you have done or seen/heard
of done• Come up with new ways• You have 2 minutes
Go!

Possible solution #1
• Record your classes• I do both a voice and a video recording using
Mimio and Camtasia• It can be time consuming for you• Only dedicated students use it• Example recording…
![Page 14: Easily Adaptable UDL Approaches for any Class by Dawn A. Tamarkin, Ph.D. Springfield Technical Community College As you come in, grab 3 cards and # them.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062603/56649c725503460f9492335b/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Possible solution #2
Low-tech method:• Assign note-takers• Have them use carbon paper• Make the notes available to everyone• Example notes…

How is note-taking a UDL approach?
It offers alternative modes of representation
It provides for students who cannot take their own notes
It does not single out students with disabilities

Class Community as UDL
![Page 18: Easily Adaptable UDL Approaches for any Class by Dawn A. Tamarkin, Ph.D. Springfield Technical Community College As you come in, grab 3 cards and # them.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062603/56649c725503460f9492335b/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Create Class Community
• May seem “touchy-feely” to some of you• The stronger the inherent support, the more
accepted and comfortable students are; this promotes learning
• Leads to more study groups and outside support• Includes professor as part of the team• Reduces student anxiety• Gives students a sense of belonging (to the
learning environment)
![Page 19: Easily Adaptable UDL Approaches for any Class by Dawn A. Tamarkin, Ph.D. Springfield Technical Community College As you come in, grab 3 cards and # them.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062603/56649c725503460f9492335b/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Methods for Community Development• Ice breakers (e.g., Comic Strip Chaos)• Group work, especially where groups change• First day of class activities (Linda Meccouri at
HCC has an excellent one)• Valuing individual contributions and diversity• Critical Incident Questionnaires with revealed
feedback• Quick discussion with classmates on topic (e.g.,
after a 1,2,3 card question)• Teaching studying/learning methods• UDL activities, where everyone is included
![Page 20: Easily Adaptable UDL Approaches for any Class by Dawn A. Tamarkin, Ph.D. Springfield Technical Community College As you come in, grab 3 cards and # them.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062603/56649c725503460f9492335b/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Another ice breaker-type activity• This one is good for introducing new topics• Toss the papers around until I say “stop”• People with papers come up front (or hand off
to a neighbor if uncomfortable)• With the help of everyone sitting down,
rearrange yourselves to form an appropriate sentence related to today’s topic
Go!

What did we come up with?
![Page 22: Easily Adaptable UDL Approaches for any Class by Dawn A. Tamarkin, Ph.D. Springfield Technical Community College As you come in, grab 3 cards and # them.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062603/56649c725503460f9492335b/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Making group / discussion more UDL
• Consider defining roles within a group, like:– moderators (to make sure everyone gets to
participate)– note-takers– time keepers– reporters
• Ask for all students to contribute to a discussion– anonymous note papers and random choices– include an individual step, like write down a
thought first, before talking

Some answers:1: • I feel engaged when you ask questions and we respond with the cards. I also prefer your drawings and explanations over the books diagrams.
2: • I feel distance on Fridays and every other Monday when I come to class after working 12hrs. I have a very hard time focusing. • When I get stuck out of my preferred seat• when you are going thru the text book pictures quickly
3: • I love the fact that your lectures are always recorded & your board drawings or information are always recorded as well right along with your lectures, so it's like being in class all over again. • The more pictures you draw in notes, the better. This is the only class where notes are available in several forms and by other students; it's helpful to compare what they found important during lecture to my notes and add theirs.
4: • the only reason why things are puzzling and confusing is because i really haven’t had the time to study the material and learn it. • I find some of your quizzes to be a bit confusing for me at times, I guess the way you word your questions
5: • how little people study and expect to get into a program with a C- • What surprised me the most is that I actually pricked my finger for a lab, and it wasn't even that bad!
6: • On a side note, I feel that Dr. Tamarkin is generally a good dresser and has nice teeth. • I like the studying ideas you suggest they are helpful. I never really found a way that really helps me to study but some of your ideas seem useful.

Preparing for tests as UDL
![Page 26: Easily Adaptable UDL Approaches for any Class by Dawn A. Tamarkin, Ph.D. Springfield Technical Community College As you come in, grab 3 cards and # them.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062603/56649c725503460f9492335b/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Preparing for tests
• Many students lack study/organization skills• No teachers enjoy providing “review sheets”• You can have them practice (model) building
their own study sheets and reviewing• How is this UDL? You are– guiding appropriate goal setting– optimizing individual autonomy– facilitating their management of information and
resources
![Page 27: Easily Adaptable UDL Approaches for any Class by Dawn A. Tamarkin, Ph.D. Springfield Technical Community College As you come in, grab 3 cards and # them.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062603/56649c725503460f9492335b/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Detailed Table of Contents
• First have them cross off anything they are not responsible for
• Then have them explain what is in each heading & subheading
• As they go through, they are self-testing
• They are also learning how to spend their time on what they have not yet mastered

Peer support rounds• Post Major Topics around the room• Have students identify their comfort level with
the topics (from 1 to 5, for example)• Assign a student who wrote a 1 to each Major
Topic location• Unassigned students roam around to get help
where they most need it• Switch assigned students to a second set

Including Manipulatives
• Kinesthetic learners will be engaged• Interpersonal learners will be engaged• Can be more challenging to implement• Should be considered

Sequencing, sorting, organizing
• Get students to sequence relevant information• Have students sort information into
similar/different piles• Use that to get students to make concept
maps• Provide concept maps for challenging topics• Provide an outline for your lecture / lab
![Page 36: Easily Adaptable UDL Approaches for any Class by Dawn A. Tamarkin, Ph.D. Springfield Technical Community College As you come in, grab 3 cards and # them.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062603/56649c725503460f9492335b/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Sequencing Mitosis
• I developed Mitosis Sequencing Kits, but this could be done with any images
• By putting the images in order, the process becomes clear
• Students speak the language of mitosis aloud while trying to sequence

Analogies & Applications
• Optimizing relevance, value, and authenticity is an important UDL guideline
• These are alternative options for representation
• Rather than repeating the information you offered, provide it alternatively using an analogy or application
Now you come up with an analogy or application you used this week in class… You have 1 minute!

Final Thoughts• Any time you try to include everyone, you are
attempting a UDL approach• Active and interactive approaches are often
UDL• I chose not to discuss changing our own ways
of presenting material (day in / day out), since that is hardest to change
• My students are much more appreciative of me and assume more responsibility for their work
