The Studio School sounds like a UDL environment where they understand how students learn and then engage them in real world problems. Some kids learn by listening; others learn by doing. Geoff Mulgan gives a short introduction to the Studio School, a new kind of school in the UK where small teams of kids learn by working on projects that are, as Mulgan puts it, "for real."
A set of UDL resources to assist with implementation and reflection of UDL practices. Includes surveys, teacher tips and examples to support successful implementation in a school.
"The UDL Walk-Through process allows teams to measure change and prioritize professional learning for staff. It is meant to identify general trends related to UDL implementation."
The UDL Lesson Builder is a free tool that provides educators with models and tools to create and adapt lessons that increase access to and participation in the general education curriculum for all students. The UDL Lesson Builder provides background information on UDL. The tool also contains model UDL lessons, which are aligned to standards and tailored to include principles and practical implications of UDL, and provides a guided online process through which educators can create and adapt their own UDL lessons.
"Effective Education + Innovative Learning Environments will explore five key themes emerging as defining elements of 21st century education: collaboration; student engagement; school community; sustainability and universal design for learning."
Universal Design for Learning (UDL) is a set of principles and techniques for creating inclusive classroom instruction and accessible course materials. This video of Best Practices features faculty and students at Colorado State University describing the benefits of UDL.
Understanding the learner is the first step in creating a UDL environment. Here are a set of online tools categorized for the visual, audiory and kinesthetic learner. Share it far and wide!
Checkout the UDLinks App to help teachers create UDL lessons and resources for any content. Did I say, the app is FREE! Thank you to the Maryland State Department of Education.
This website provides educators with Universal Design for Learning (UDL) resources and strategies that can be applied in the area of mathematics. The tools presented here include Geometer's Sketchpad, Equation Editor in MS Word, Google Forms, Google Sketch-up, InspireData and more.
The Propeller Model of Learning is built upon the concept of the Community of Learners. Surrounding the centre of the model are three frameworks that support learning: Circle Learning, Universal Design for Learning, and Formative Assessment.
From the USDOE "OSEP Ideas that Work", a UDL Toolkit is provided for schools to assist them in designing educational environments where all students can succeed.
"UDL embraces three primary principles based on brain and learning research
1.) Multiple means of representation - the "what" of learning with varied ways that new information can be presented to students. 2.) Multiple means of expression - the "how" of learning with different ways that learners can navigate a learning environment and demonstrate their mastery. 3.) Multiple means of engagement - the "why" of learning with the many ways that students can be engaged in their learning and motivated to learn."
This video "Transforming the Lives of Students with Learning Disabilities,"documents how a Missouri school district integrated AIM (Accessible Instructional Materials) and TTS (Text-to-Speech) across the high school curriculum and the effective ways in which teachers and students used this technology to improve reading and writing skills. Listen to the testimonials from students who had finally found success by having access to the tools that "removed their barriers to learning".
HIAT has created a UDL tool finder to help teachers locate tools to support a variety of student challenges that they may have with instructional materials and methods.
This presentation explains the history behind the Universal Design for Learning movement. It also explores the implications for students and teachers in classrooms.
Dan Meyer show ways that he engages students in math and provides "multiple representations" in solving word problems at the high school level. Overall, this is a great example of how to apply UDL strategies in a subject that so many students do not do well in. Thank you, Dan!
This webinar will highlight the proactive strategies for utilizing Universal Design for Learning (UDL) to address and overcome barriers to learning and will feature practices being utilized at Drexel University and other institutions.
Integration of 21st century goals into teacher education programs requires attention to diversity, technology, and instructional supports in terms of how content material is presented, students are engaged, and learning is documented. Faced with barriers such as disparities in access to curriculum and technology, as well as differences in background experiences and prior knowledge, teachers in today's classrooms face unique challenges as they struggle to meet the diversity of needs within a single classroom setting. As a result, educators need innovative approaches to address the diversity of available resources, student characteristics, and other environmental challenges. One approach is the integration of Universal Design for Learning principles with instructional planning.
