Level of Knowledge in UDL
• Question: How much do you know about
Universal Design for Learning (UDL)?
• You may respond at www.govote.at.
• Use the code 12 70 29.

Universal Design ‐ History
First: The American
Disabilities Act
prompted rethinking
about architectural
design for disabled
individuals
Next: The concept of UDL
was applied to
communication – web
page designs, TTY
telephone access, voice
recognition software, etc.
Now: UDL has been applied
to education because the
technology is more
available and provides more
access for all learners

Universal Design for Learning
A scientifically valid framework
Provides multiple means of access,
assessment, and engagement while
removing barriers in instruction
To achieve academic and behavioral
success for all


SD70 (Alberni) 11/23/2015
UDL: Overarching Principle for Instruction
• 3 prolonged approach
• Access: Multiple Means of Representation
• Assess: Multiple Means of Action and
Expression
• Engage: Multiple Means of Engagement
• Reduces barriers to learning
• Recognizes “One size fits all” is not effective
practice
• Curriculum and instruction designed for
diverse learners

Visual Representations of UDL
• Is it possible to support the diverse needs of each
student in your classroom?
• What does meaningfully and respectfully including all
students look like?
• What role should you play in your students’ learning
experiences?
• What might be some potential benefits for you and
your students when implementing UDL strategies in
your classroom?
• What might be some of your concerns when beginning
to implement UDL strategies in your classroom?

Hands‐On Activity: Try Sticky Notes
• On PC computer, click on Windows Start
icon (lower left), and then select “Sticky
Notes” from start up menu.
• On tablet, iPad or Smartphone, open a
sticky note app such as “Notes”.
• Try taking notes on “take away” ideas from
the workshop!
• If you prefer talking vs. typing, try VOICE
MEMOS app to record your verbal idea
thought.

SD70 (Alberni) 11/23/2015
Universal Design for Learning Principles
• Provide students with multiple means of
• REPRESENTATION – Accessing information
• EXPRESSION – of knowledge based on
student’s unique viewpoint
• ENGAGEMENT – with the curriculum

Multiple Means of Representation
for students to access information
• Visual representations – i.e. teacher
created visuals, Boardmaker
• Enlarged print, use of color & design – i.e.
Kurzweil, Clicker, Word Processors
• Audio text support – i.e. Clicker, Kurzweil,
ARC-BC Accessible Resource Centre
• Multimedia presentations – Clicker,
PowerPoints, Windows Movie Maker,
SMART Notebook, iDevice Camara
• Internet links to background information
• Closed captioning

Multiple Means of Expression
for students to demonstrate learning
• Graphic tools – i.e. Word tools, Kurzweil, Inspiration
Maps, Popplet
• Keyboarding with spelling supports – i.e. MS Word
Spellcheck, Co:Writer, Kurzweil, Clicker
• Narration, audio recording, podcasts
• Multimedia tools – i.e. PowerPoint, Clicker, SMART
Notebook, Inspiration
• Speech to Text – i.e. Google Chrome Talk Typer,
Speech Recognizer and Voice Note Apps in Google
Chrome (these can copy and paste into Kurzweil
notes), Speech Recognition on Windows
• 3-D models
• Artistic displays – i.e. drawings, collages, paintings
• Data displays – i.e. graphs and charts


SD70 (Alberni) 11/23/2015
Multiple Means of Engagement
• Infused throughout your classroom
• Provide CHOICES
• Audio/visual/hands-on
• Use of audience response tools
(http://www.techrepublic.com/article/engage
-your-audience-beyond-raise-your-hand-if/)
• Multimedia
• Project-based inquiry
• E-mail, blogging, Wikis
• Collaborative learning

UDL is compatible with other Initiatives
Universal Design for Learning
INCLUSION
RTI
DIFFERENTIATION

Inclusion
• A sense of belonging.
• Feeling respected, valued, and seen for
who we are as individuals
• There is a level of supportive energy
and commitment from leaders,
colleagues, and others so that we –
individually and collectively – can do our
best work.
• Means something different to everyone
• More than placement
• Positive mindset: exciting vs. difficult


Inclusion Resources
• Inclusive Education Canada http://inclusiveeducation.ca/
• BCTF’s reports on Inclusive Education https://bctf.ca/IssuesInEducation.aspx?id=5774
• Inclusion BC - http://www.inclusionbc.org/

Response to Intervention (RTI)
• 3-tiered system
• Tier 1: high quality, research based
classroom instruction
• Tier 2: targeted small group
interventions
• Tier 3: intensive interventions in addition
to core instruction and comprehensive
evaluations
• Focus on defining, analyzing,
implementing and evaluating

Differentiated Instruction
• Making instruction available to
many types of learners, even if we
don’t know who they all are
• Requires providing flexible
instruction to meet the needs of all
students
• Adjusting and modifying
curriculum and presentation with
UDL rather than asking students to
modify themselves to the
curriculum

What is AIM?
• Accessible Instructional
Materials (AIM) that ensure access
to the content in educational
resources used by all students.

and a back-up)
• Have a collection of books available
• 5 to 6 copies
• Desirable and readable
• A surplus of books
2) Students read at their own pace
3) Discuss and Respond
4) Comprehension Activity

registered and been approved. It’s important to note
that the alternate formats, while free to download, can
only be used by students who have “perceptual
disabilities” (Canadian copyright). A perceptual
disability does include a comprehension disability
though so many students would benefit from using
these materials.

out what file formats are there.
