Why begin with this exercise?

Goal driven

20@CAST_UDL | #UDL (C) CAST 2014

UDL Core concept #1:Clarify goals

Many goals: CCSS, district, lesson, department, WIDA…

• Share goals clearly, all understand

• Consider flexible means to reach goal (UDL)

@CAST_UDL | #UDL (C) CAST 2014 21

@CAST_UDL | #UDL (C) CAST 2014 22

Clear goals matter

UDL Core Concept #2: Variability

Old view of learning:

@CAST_UDL | #UDL (C) CAST 2014 23

@CAST_UDL | #UDL (C) CAST 2014 24

Variability

@CAST_UDL | #UDL (C) CAST 2014

UDL key concept #3: Context matters

@CAST_UDL | #UDL (C) CAST 2014 26

Context matters- at many levels

@CAST_UDL | #UDL (C) CAST 2014 27

UDL: Goal, Variability, Context (design)

@CAST_UDL | #UDL (C) CAST 2014 28

Elbow buddy discussion

• What resonated?

• Discuss how the goal, variability & context relate to either the shoe or Rubick’s cube.

Questions: 3 key concepts to UDL framework

Goals, Variability, Context

Building Background:

Started ‘in the margins’

@CAST_UDL | #UDL (C) CAST 2014 32

Inspired by Universal Design

… “all new environments and products, to the greatest extent possible, should be

usable by everyone regardless of their age, ability, or circumstance.”

@CAST_UDL | #UDL (C) CAST 2014 33

Goal. Variability. Design

@CAST_UDL | #UDL (C) CAST 2014 34

Goal. Variability. Context (design). For all.

@CAST_UDL | #UDL (C) CAST 2014 35

Choose one design & discuss: How does the design help many reach the goal?

Curricular Access: Goal. Variability, Context/design

For all

@CAST_UDL | #UDL (C) CAST 2014 37

Morning Summary

In your words, what is the UDL framework?

(write, draw, tweet, build, discuss…)

UDL…• Designs for variability

• Changes the curriculum (context)--not the student

• Clear goal, flexible means

38@CAST_UDL | #UDL (C) CAST 2014

UDL…

A mindset for designing learning experiences

• All individuals can gain knowledge, skills, and enthusiasm for learning

• reduces barriers to the curriculum while maintaining high goals for all
