Shape of the Afternoon

Essential Questions• What is UDL?• How can it benefit our students?• What am I already doing that’s a

good fit with UDL?• How does UDL relate to the new

curriculum?• How can I apply UDL principles to

support my students?

UDL …a way of thinking

Access and Choice

Ronald L Mace Ronald Mace coined the term in the realm of architecture, and defined it as:

“Universal design is the design of products and environments to be usable by ALL people, to the greatest extent possible, without the need for adaptation or specialized design.”

–Ron Mace

A little history: Universal Design

Who makes use of these?… and why?

Plan for ALL Students

New Curriculum ----Big Ideas, an Opportunity for Redesign

BRAIN RESEARCHThe Affective Networks: the “Why” of Learning

How learners get engaged and stay

motivated. How they are challenged,

excited, or interested.

• Provide options for self-regulation

• Provide options for recruiting interest

• Provide options for sustaining effort and persistence

Connect with Engagement

… and those around you.

BRAIN RESEARCHThe Strategic Networks: the “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.

• Provide options for comprehension

• Provide options for language, mathematical expressions, and symbols

• Provide options for perception

Connect with Representation

BRAIN RESEARCHThe Recognition Networks: the “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.

• Provide options for executive functions

• Provide options for expression and communication

• Provide options for physical action

Connect with Action & Expression
