Universal Design for Learning (UDL)
UDL Principles Principle1:
Representation
Principle 3:Engagement
Principle 2:Action and Expression
Recognition NetworksThe "what" of learning
How we gather facts and categorize what we see, hear, and read. Identifying letters, words, or an author's style are recognition tasks.
Strategic NetworksThe "how" of learning
Planning and performing tasks. How we organize and express our ideas. Writing an essay or solving a math problem are strategic tasks.
Affective NetworksThe "why" of learning
How learners get engaged and stay motivated. How they are challenged, excited, or interested. These are affective dimensions.
Principle I:
Multiple Means of Representation

Backwards Design – Step 2Determine Acceptable Evidence
Think like an assessor, not an activity designer!
How will students demonstrate that they have met the target(s) for their proficiency level? – Formative assessment– Summative assessment
Backwards Design – Step 2Determine Acceptable Evidence
Integrated Performance Assessment or IPA
• Authentic• Performance-based• Related to the three modes of
communication (interpretive, interpersonal, presentational)
• Integrated • Show progress through stages of
proficiency• “Teaching to the test”
but in a positive sense . . .

• Interpersonal Communication Mode
• Interpretive Communication Mode
• Presentational Communication Mode
2. Pick 1 item from a Mode Mind Map that was new information for you and share this learning with a partner.
Three Modes of Communication
Interpersonal: Person-to-Person•Initiate, maintain, sustain conversation (oral or written)•Active negotiation of meaning
Interpretive: Listening & Reading•Interpret and respond to received messages•NO active negotiation of meaning with writer or speaker
Presentational: Speaking & Writing•Create, revise, and practice oral or written messages•NO direct opportunity for active negotiation
Activity: Venn Diagram with Assessments
1. Read the assessment example slips and decide which mode of communication is being practiced.
2. Place the assessment example slips in the appropriate place on the Venn diagram. Note: Some assessments might incorporate more than one mode of communication.
3. Share out about where you placed 1 assessment example slip and why.
Culture’s 3 Ps and Interculturality

Preparing Students for Novice Level Interpretive Tasks
• Various ways to assess (reading, listening, viewing)
• Teach strategies for understanding– Use context clues– Repeat, Repeat, Repeat– Listen for key words– Make predictions about the text
• Types of authentic texts– Short texts (Lists, simple sentences, etc.)– Commercials– Texts that include visual clues
Preparing Students forIntermediate Level Interpretive Tasks
• Teach strategies for understanding– Main ideas – Supporting details
• Types of authentic texts– Narratives, simple stories, routine
correspondence– Information-packed texts in predictable
order of information– Simple sentences to paragraph-like text– High interest topics about the target
culture(s)
Preparing Students forAdvanced Level Interpretive Tasks
Teach strategies for understanding– Main ideas and supporting details– Word and concept inferences– Identification of author/cultural perspectives– Identification of organizing principles of text
Authentic texts– Longer and more complex discourse– Stories, narratives, social correspondence
(involving past, present, and future)– Topics of professional and personal interest– Fiction and non-fiction with wide variety of
topics from target culture(s)
Preparing Students for Interpersonal Tasks
• Use various assessments (videotaping, journaling, texting)
• Prepare students to engage in natural conversation and wean off scripts– Provide warm-up activities that include
dialogue– Give pre-thinking exercises– Model constantly (teacher interaction, video clips)
– Differentiate groups (based on proficiency level)
– Integrate opportunity for students to speak freely with peers in target language (without pressure of evaluation)
Preparing Students for Presentational Tasks
• Use various ways to assess (speaking, writing, debating, reporting)
• Encourage the use of the writing process (draft, revise, publish) to self-assess
• Encourage peer evaluation with structure and/or monitoring from teacher
• Provide feedback to students based on message NOT accuracy

Identify the proficiency level targeted with each of the following tasks:
Tasks Novice Intermediate Advanced
1. Students prepare for a job interview by discussing what they can do in the target language and skills acquired through learning a 2nd language
2. Students browse through several authentic menus and decide which would be appropriate for different people given their likes and dietary needs
3. Students share examples of stress in their lives and tell what they have done to alleviate it
4. Students get ready for a homestay abroad by sharing and talking about the photos they will take along, by identifying who the people are and telling something about them, and by asking simple questions of each other (e.g., who is this, where are you?)
5. Students need to adjust the day’s schedule while traveling abroad based on new information and come to agreement on a new itinerary.

Tasks Rationale1. Students prepare for a job interview by discussing what they can do in the target language and skills acquired through learning a 2nd language
Intermediate: The task involves creating with language using sentences and strings of sentences; within a familiar context; in present time
2. Students browse through several authentic menus and decide which would be appropriate for different people given their likes and dietary needs
Novice: Students can be successful by listing and using formulaic sentences; within a highly familiar context
3. Students share examples of stress in their lives and tell what they have done to alleviate it
Advanced: The task requires narration in past time plus extended description; the real world context is still familiar to students
4. Students get ready for a homestay abroad by sharing and talking about the photos they will take along, by identifying who the people are and telling something about them, and by asking simple questions of each other (e.g., who is this, where are you?)
Novice: The task is fully in students’ control (their photos); a highly familiar context (family, home, school, city); students can be successful producing memorized words and phrases
5. Students need to adjust the day’s schedule while traveling abroad based on new information and must come to agreement on a new itinerary.
Intermediate: Familiar context and vocabulary, but more negotiation of meaning required (more than listing) to come to agreement
Activity: MAP Game
1. Watch the video about how to play the MAP Game – Phase 1
2. Choose a partner for Phase 1 and play the MAP Game
3. Discuss how this might be used in local PD
4. Learn about Phases 2, 3 and 4
Providing Feedback to Build Proficiency
• How well does the feedback showcase what students can do well and what they need to work on to improve?
• How well does the feedback mechanism guide students to give their best performance (rather than just
enough to get by, or to get an “A”)?
Providing Feedback to Build Proficiency
What counts in evaluation?• Grammatical accuracy• Vocabulary choice• Translation of words• Pronunciation
Answer: Depends on the Mode
Activity: Mode Sort
1. Read the Mode Sort slips with your table group.
2. Sort them using this chart:
Interpretive Interpersonal Presentational
Crafting Rubrics
• Many options available– Commercially– Open source– Teacher-created
Let’s take a look . . .
Rubric for Scored Discussion
Move FROM: 1 – 3 – 5 Move TO:
Asks random questions
Follows up with logical questions
Only answers the question asked
Contributes additional information
Responds, but rarely initiates
Contributes personal insights to enhance discussion and draw in others
Comments are not relevant
Stays on topic
162
Rubric for Feedback Checklist
163
Novice Interpersonal Task: For your trip, come to agreement on the day’s schedule.
Performance Criteria: I can do this on my own
I can do this with some help
I cannot do this
I can use numbersI can use words for activitiesI can use words for locationsI can use expressions to show that I agree or disagree with what my partner says
I can ask some questionsI can say how many times, how often, how frequently I do various things
I can provide some description
Rubric for Feedback Checklist
164
Advanced Interpersonal Task: For your trip, decide how travel benefits your future.
Performance Criteria: Achieves the target and more (Consistently)
Achieves the target
(Frequently)
Achieves the target
(Minimally)
Falls short of the target
1. Questions-variety of topics and interests
2. Open-ended questions
3. Questions lead to in-depth exploration (follow-up questions)4. Careful listening; appropriate reactions
Crafting Rubrics
• Take out the non-negotiables• Don’t just count
It’s not about quantity; it’s quality!
• Provide clear descriptors• Push students’ performance
toward the next level (show what they could do)
Activity: Presentational Writing Assessment Practice
1. Read these two letters written by students from abroad who are writing to introduce themselves to a potential host family.
2. Discuss these questions to prepare to provide feedback to help these students improve their performance:
– What impression does each letter make?
– How would you provide feedback to each student to help him or her improve? What counts?
Rubric DOs and DON’Ts
3. Place the rubric elements (on slips in the envelope at your table) into the following columns to indicate if they should be part of the rubric for the Presentational Writing Assessment
SHOULD be part of rubric SHOULD NOT be part of rubric

Converting Rubrics to a Grade
Let’s do the math!Four elements with a 3 – 2 – 1 scale:
All 2s = 8/12 or 66.67% or a DInstead, begin with a completed product (language sample) at 50% and then add the rubric points as the quality:All 2s = 66% of other 50% = 33.35Added to base 50% = 83.5 or a B
Rubric Idea Swap
• That was just one example. There are many ways to calculate a rubric score.
• Share!!
Part VII ReflectionPlease respond to these statements in your Penzu journal.
Yes, easily and well
Still one of my goals
1. I can describe how proficiency-based rubrics need to be constructed.
2. I can explain how to score student work using a proficiency-based rubric.
