Title: Building a UDL Classroom Environment focusing on Action and Expression
Lynda Hartman, M.A., M.L.S., Educator/Consultant
Description:
Students in our classrooms have become more and more diverse. They bring a wide variety of learning needs, interests, and preferences. We no longer have (if we ever did have) an “average learner” that we can organize instruction around. The promise of a classroom that incorporates the principles of Universal Design for Learning (UDL) is to support the learning of all students by providing flexibility in the ways information is presented, knowledge is demonstrated and students are engaged.
In the first portion of this full-day session, we will consider the need for and importance of UDL. We will explore the three principles of UDL and the UDL framework. Participants will learn how to use a backward design process that incorporates the critical elements of UDL to improve instructional planning. During the second portion of the session, we will explore a variety of tools and resources that can be made available to ALL students to help them become expert learners - purposeful, motivated, resourceful, knowledgeable, strategic and goal-oriented - with a focus on offering options for students to demonstrate their understanding. Participants are strongly encouraged to bring some lesson plans with them, as time will be provided to apply the UDL instructional planning process and tool/resource options to their own instruction. Participants will be provided with resources to help begin/continue on their UDL implementation journey.
Learning Outcomes:
Participants will:
- Describe the 3 principles of UDL.
- Identify the components of the UDL instructional planning process.
- Apply the UDL instructional planning process to create/modify a lesson to support student growth in your classroom.
- Thoughtfully Incorporate multiple options for action/expression into the lesson.
