Video: David Rose (cast.org) discuss the Brain Research of UDL
*** Access the above link and select "The Brain Research" video hyperlink.
After several viewings of the above video, I am beginning to incorporate the language of UDL into my personal educational schema. I sense to become fully indoctrinated to UDL I will need many hours of application and confidence in my use of UDL language.
As I consider my existing lesson plans, my mind continuously returns to access to the tools needed for media access - experience with down networks and outdated technology. I struggle to not use past practice to influence my willingness to embrace UDL.
Within the 3 networks there are 31 checkpoints to determine if you have met the UDL criterion. Overwhelming at first, but my hope is that continued use will create a level of comfort with various options under each network.
UDL Implementation Examples
Highlights -
1) Recognition (what) Network & Instruction: Provide the same information to all learners, just present via different means: seeing, hearing, touch
2) Strategic (how) Networks & Instruction: Provide options for expression: verbal, written, graphic
3) Affective (why) Network & Instruction: Create learning environment that values cultural diversity; work individually, in partners, small group, foster self reliance - goal setting and recognition for achievement
I love the visuals on this! The breakdown is very simple to follow and the verbiage is "dumbed down" enough even for me! Thanks for the post, I hope to use the checkpoints throughout my lessons.
