Universal Design for Learning MulDple  means:  -­‐to  tap  into  background  knowledge,  to  acDvate  prior  knowledge,  to  increase  engagement  and  moDvaDon  

-­‐to  acquire  the  informaDon  and  knowledge  to  process  new  ideas  and  informaDon  

-­‐to  express  what  they  know.  

                     Rose  &  Meyer,  2002  

Choose a lesson •  Think  of  all  the  users  at  the  point  of  design.  •  Who  mighty  not  be  able  to  do  this?  

•  Think  of  the  goal,  not  the  acDvity/method.  

•  Accessibility  not  accommodaDon.  

Backwards Design •  What  important  ideas  and  enduring  understandings  do  you  want  the  students  to  know?  

•  What  thinking  strategies  will  students  need  to  demonstrate  these  understandings?    

                 McTighe  &  Wiggins,  2001  

Approaches •  Assessment  for  learning  •  Open-­‐ended  strategies  •  Gradual  release  of  responsibility  •  CooperaDve  learning  •  Literature  circles  and  informaDon  circles  •  Inquiry

–  DescripDon  –  ImaginaDon  –  Detail  –  Knowledge  –  Focus  –  Ideas  –  Passion  –  Intriguing  –  Understandable  

•  Place  a  series  of  pictures  around  the  room  •  Students  in  groups  of  3  •  3  minutes  per  picture  

•  Chat  –  How  could  you  use  this  image  in  your  wriDng?  

•  Build  on  one  another’s  thinking  •  View  4  pictures

•  Task:    a  piece  of  wriDng,  choose  your  genre,  think  about  the  criteria  

•  As  you  are  moving  to  your  desk,  keep  walking  unDl  you  have  your  first  line  in  your  head  

•  12  minutes  to  write  

•  As  students  are  wriDng,  move  about  the  room,  underlining  something  powerful  (criteria  connected)  in  each  person’s  wriDng  

•  Each  student  shares  what  was  underlined  •  Listen  to  hear  something  you  might  want  to  borrow  

•  As  a  class,  decide  on  why  each  was  underlined  •  Create  the  criteria:  – Words  that  are  WOW  – Details  that  showed  emoDon  or  made  a  picture

Sample  1  

One  cool  and  breezy  night,  in  a  prairie,  a  boy  sat  on  the  rim  of  his  open  window,  looking  out  at  the  moon,  hoping  for  something  to  happen.    A]er  a  few  minutes,  he  went  back  in  and  close  his  window.    Robin  sighed.  “I  wished  my  life  has  more  excitement  in  it,  “  he  thought,  before  he  turned  off  his  light  and  went  to  bed,    he  took  one  quick  look  at  his  kite  on  top  of  his  bed  that’s  shaped  like  an  eagle,  and  went  to  sleep.  

Next  morning,  Robin  went  outside  to  fly  his  kite  a]er  breakfast,  while  he  was  flying  his  kite,  he  noDced  the  wind  got  stronger,  he  tried  to  hold  on  to  the  string,  but  it  slipped,  the  kite  got  caught  in  the  wind  and  flew  towards  the  forest,  Robin  ran  a]er  it,  he  ran  and  ran  and  ran,  unDl  he  ran  into  a  clearing,  he  found  the  kite  there,  but  he  also  discovered  something  else  a  few  feet  away,  was  a  bunch  of  brown  feathers,  moving,    “Can  it  be?”  he  thought.    He  moved  a  likle  closer  and  he  saw  what  the  bunch  of…  

Sample  3  Once  upon  a  Dme  there  was  a  boy  that  was  facinated  by  eagles,  he  

asked  his  father  to  get  one  for  him  but  he  couldn’t.    Then  the  boy  thought  about  a  way  to  catch  an  eagle  and  then  a  different  gender  one  for  more  eagles.    Delighted  with  his  idea  that  he  thought  of  last  night,  he  conDnued  his  plan.    He  put  3  fishes  in  the  open  with  a  trap,  and  went  to  bed.    Then  he  heard  a  noise  that  sounded  like  an  eagle.    When  he  had  checked  the  trap,  he  found  an  eagle  that  was  in  his  trap.    Happily  jumping  around,  the  eagle  made  him  inspired  to  make  a  home  for  the  eagle.    He  created  a  bond  with  the  eagle.    He  remembered  how  much  his  father  despised  eagles.    He  lead  the  eagle  to  a  secret  place  in  the  forest  where  his  father  never  went.    He  came  downstairs  and  his  father  was  in  a  rage.    He  threatened  to  ground  his  son  if  he  didn’t  kill  the  eagles.  Shocked,  the  boy  asked  why  he  told  him  so.    The  father  said  they  …

•  Kids  can  add/edit/conDnue  to  work  •  Set  up  for  next  class  – Work  on  same  criteria  – Hear  again,  pieces  that  work  – Move  to  where  kids  can  idenDfy  criteria  in  their  own  work  and  ask  for  help  with  criteria  that  are  struggling  with  

•  A]er  repeated  pracDce,  students  choose  one  piece  to  work  up,  edit,  revise,  and  hand  in  for  marking  

•  Feedback  is  conDnuous,  personal,  Dmely,  focused  

Quick Writes • Give  a  word  • 15  seconds  to  think  • 2-­‐3  minutes  to  write  • Word  count  • Find  a  phrase,  short  piece  you’d  like  to  share  • As  the  students  stand  and  share,  listen  for  nuggets  you  might  be  able  to  use  in  some  way  in  your  wriDng  

• –  the  words  we  used  today  

Picture Prompts •  Talk  to  your  partner  about  what  you  are  seeing,  wondering,  thinking  about  in  this  picture…think  about  how  it  connects  to  ‘paint’  and  ‘train’
