  • 1. Universal Design for Learning
    Opportunity for Every Learner

2. What Is Universal Design for Learning?
Universal Design for learning was created to give students the best opportunity to be successful. UDL seeks to do so by offering students the most flexibilty possible in the learning process (Laureate Education, 2010).This idea of creating a learning opportunity for all can be seen around us each day.Braille allows the visually impaired to access the same places as those with vision.Ramps allow those in wheelchairs to access the same buildings as those who walk up the stairs.Hearing assistance allows someone with a hearing impairment to enjoy a show at the theatre.Whatever the example, the goal is the same.That goal is to allow all people the same access and opportunity.
3. Its as easy as . . .
4. Provide
Multiple
Means of
Representation

  • Text to speech software

5. TPRS 6. KWL charts 7. Graphic organizersSourcehttp://www.udlcenter.org/aboutudl/udlguidelines
8. Provide
Multiple
Means of
Action and
Expression

  • Students interact with Smart Board

9. Use various media 10. Use manipulatives 11. Digital Storytelling 12. WikisSourcehttp://www.udlcenter.org/aboutudl/udlguidelines
13. Provide
Multiple
Means of
Engagement

  • Students work at own pace

14. Assessment options 15. Culturally relative assignments 16. Feedback 17. ReflectionSourcehttp://www.udlcenter.org/aboutudl/udlguidelines
18. So, what about the technology?
19. Technology allows the content to be
presented, displayed, and used in a
flexible manner
that allows students to experience an
individual education
(Laureate Education, 2010).
20. Research tells us that learning is distributed
across 3 networks in the brain
Sourcehttp://www.cast.org/teachingeverystudent/ideas/tes/chapter2.cfm
Recognition
Affective
Strategic
21. RECOGNITION
The recognition network is
responsible for helping us make
sense of what we take in
through the five senses.
(Rose & Meyer, 2002)
22. Strategic
The strategic network is
responsible for helping us
plan actions and make
patterns.
(Rose & Meyer, 2002)
23. Affective
The affective network is
responsible for attaching
Emotions to the patterns
That the brain recognizes.
(Rose & Meyer, 2002)
24. The brain works in many different ways and this process is unique
in each learner.Given that fact, educators must understand these
learning networks in the brain and learn to identify areas in which
students excel and areas in which they struggle (Rose & Meyer, 2002).
UDL utilizes these concepts, along with the
power and flexibility of technology to
help teachers create a classroom
in which students have access
to a unique education that
is appropriate for each
learners individualized needs.
25. The Center for Applied Special Technology
(CAST) offers many online resources
that provide assistance to educators seeking
to implement UDL strategies in the classroom
26. http://www.cast.org/teachingeverystudent/tools/classprofile.cfm
The class profile maker aids in creating a
class profile of interests and strengths
based upon the UDL framework
27. http://www.cast.org/teachingeverystudent/tools/curriculumbarriers.cfm
The curriculum barriers
finder helps teachers to
identify areas in the curriculum which
may be hinderingsome students from
reaching their full learning potential
28. http://lessonbuilder.cast.org/
The lesson builder provides sample
lessons based on UDL principles as well
as the opportunity for teachers to
create and save their own UDL-based
lesson plans
29. UDL @ Elida
By using these CAST tools, Elida could improve by:
Become more aware of learner differences by
creating a class learning profile
2.Identifying weaknesses in the curricula so that
every student has a better learning opportunity
3.Create UDL-based lessons that integrate technology
