The Pool Party Dilemma

  • Invitation will be sent on Tik-Tok.
  • Women will receive the same bathing suit to wear & men receive the same trunks (one size fits all).
  • Everyone is expected to play water volleyball and water chicken!
  • Dinner will be lasagne.
  • Dessert is chocolate cake!
  • Everyone gets to drink Mai Tai’s!

Target: Everyone will have an awesome time having fun, cooling off, and getting refreshed on a sweltering AZ summer day!

How does my idea of a fun pool party (Tik-Tok, bathing suits, lasagne, chocolate, mai tai’s) reflect my personal bias?

UDL

​

A powerful framework used to

improve and optimize

teaching and learning

for all people

based on scientific insights

into how people learn.

The Beliefs of:

Universal Design for Learning

  • Variability is the rule, not the exception. Students don’t have to do the same things at the same time.
  • All students can work toward the same firm goals and grade-level standards.
  • All students will become expert learners if barriers are removed.

Components of the UDL Framework

As you watch, think about how this relates to Blended and Personalized Learning and how you use it during planning.

14 of 27

Key Points:

  • Classrooms are diverse and everyone learns uniquely
  • Minimize the barriers in order to maximize learning
  • 3 main networks in the brain
    • Recognition (Representation) - the What of learning
    • Skills & Strategies (Expression) - the How of learning
    • Affective (Engagement) - the Why of learning
  • Students need to gain knowledge, skills and enthusiasm for learning
  • Providing choice by implementing multiple strategies while planning backwards to eliminate the barriers

We can do this with BACKWARD DESIGN.

  1. What is the targeted learning goal, concept to master, or skill to own?
  2. How can we authentically assess our students to measure their mastery?
  3. How will I plan my daily lessons?
