CAST 2012
Clearing the path for someone with special needs, clear the path for all.
Overall Workshop Goals
Day 1:• To learn how UDL addresses challenge of
learner variability
Day 2 & 3:• To consider how UDL applies to lesson design • To consider new resources & tools
30 second UDL ‘elevator’ speech to colleague
• What did you learn at your workshop about learning & UDL?
‘UDL is …’
Quadrant 1 Quadrant 2
Quadrant 3 Quadrant 4
Share a elevator speech
UDL highlights
• Based in neuroscience: variability & context
• Framework for designing lessons, presentations, activities with a clear goal & flexible, accessible means (UDL Guidelines)
UDL Guidelines
Recognition: “what”– Multiple means representation
Strategy: “how”– Multiple means of action &
expression
Affect: “why”– Multiple means of engagement
Systematic Variability: where are you with your learning now?

UDL – Application to Practice
What do I do and how do I start?
“What does a UDL lesson look like?” meet Katie Novak:
• UDL Connect: Guidelines• Read her lesson plan• Choose a Guideline for focus• Watch video with Guideline in mind
Evidence from Katie’s classroom
Share findings with elbow buddy
• Identify what you saw ‘come to life’ based on the Guideline you chose
• Look at Katie’s lesson plan (#2) to see how she listed the Guideline– Discuss differences and similarities
How do I ‘do’ UDL?
CAST 2012
Start with your goal: know where you’re going
‘Gorilla’ video
Goals are essentialImpacts our perception
Goals are difficult
Many goals: CCSS, district, lesson, department
• Write goals clearly, all understand
• Consider flexible means to reach goal (UDL)
• Consider whether means are embedded
© CAST 2012
Are means embedded in the goal?
Students will demonstrate their knowledge of the stages of
metamorphosis.
© CAST 2012
Are means embedded in the goal?
Students will demonstrate their knowledge of stages of
metamorphosis by writing in their journal.
Reflect upon this goal:
Integrate and evaluate content presented in diverse media and formats, including visually
and quantitatively, as well as in words
What does it look like to integrate?How will content be evaluated?
What will success look like (assessment)? Share, model, discuss with students.
Beware of secondary goals!
Consider Variability by using the UDL Guidelines
Think about a lesson: UDL Guidelines
• What is already present & works well?• Anticipate barriers, challenges
Select assessment:Align to goal
Formative or summative?
CAST 2012
Methods & Materials
Flexible and accessible to reach goal
• Multiple means of representation• Multiple means of action and expression• Multiple means of engagement
Technology can help, not requiredJoe’s Non-netbook
Some teacher favorite ‘technology’ tools :
• Sticky notes• Colored pens• Piping tube for listening to self• Word • Rulers with ‘space’ for reading• Vimeo• VoiceThread• Animoto
Quadrant 1 Quadrant 2
Quadrant 3 Quadrant 4
Share tools & technology favorites!Align with a UDL Guideline.
i.e.: graphic organizer… aligns with Guideline 6.4, monitor progress
Do your lesson:
UDL Reflection: What worked well: did students achieve
intended goal?
Questions, Reflections?
Work on your lessonPart 1
• 5-7 minutes • Identify Goal. – How will you know if students reached the goal
(assessment)?
With partner, work on the phrasing of the goal
• Ie: What is the one thing to know (content, how to do) before you leave the room
Work timePart 2
Until 11:45am• Collaborate or work independently– Lesson– Faculty Meeting– Upcoming event…
• Lesson planning handout, optional
Share highlights from your work:
How did UDL inform your work or conversation?
Questions? Comments?Coming this afternoon!!
Break out sessions:
building tools & resources
Lunch 12:00-1:00
