Universal Design For Learning Audience
● All students (and even adults) learn differently.
● Various ways of presenting information, visually, verbally and hands-on.
● Visual aids will be colorful, creative and handmade with facts and statistics.
● Hands-on experiences will include miniature whiteboards, a computer, a SmartBoard and an iPad for the audience to use.
Three Major Principles of UDL
∗ Multiple means of representation
∗ Multiple means of action and expression
∗ Multiple means of engagement
Universal Design for Learning
Information
∗Use of the computer and the interactive SmartBoard
∗Explanation how programs like Khan Academy can be used
∗Answer any questions or concerns the audience has about the program, and explain how I would use it in the classroom
Station 1:Universal Design for Learning
(UDL) Demonstration
∗All students learn differently, and some may need specific accommodations
∗Meeting needs of those with disabilities
∗Meeting the needs of those whom do not speak our language of origin
∗Any other accommodations necessary are essential, and can be done through UDL
Universal Design for Learning
Differentiation
∗Explanation of sample lesson
∗Use of SmartBoard, individual miniature whiteboards, and exploration of computer programs
∗All three principles of UDL are discovered through this interaction
∗Any questions or concerns will be address by audience
