Shifts in Education
Faces in the crowd
• If you had 30 students in your classroom…−14 would be male−15 would be female−12 would be eligible to receive free or reduced
lunch−3 would be an English Language Learner−5 would have an IEP−1 would end up in an alternative high school−3 would drop out
(based on statistics from Kent County)

Universal Design for Learning
What is Universal Design?
• Not one size fits all – but alternatives for
everyone.
• Not added on later – but designed from the
beginning.
• Not access for some – but access for
everyone.
Universal Design (UD)
The design of products
and environments to be
usable by all people, to
the greatest extent
possible, without the
need for adaptation or
specialized design.

• Drawbacks of
Retrofitting
−Each retrofit solves
only one local problem
−Retrofitting can be
costly
−Many retrofits are
UGLY!
What is Universal Design?
What is Universal Design?A Universal Design approach is simply more practical,
elegant and effective, since it is always better to build in
flexibility from the beginning, rather than try to add it on
later.
What is Universal Design for Learning (UDL)?
The process of building in (rather than adding on) accessibility and achievement supports for diverse learning needs is known as Universal Design for Learning
“Consider the needs of the broadest possible range of users from the beginning”
-- Architect, Ron Mace

Universal Design for Learning (UDL)
“The burden of adaptation should be first placed on the curriculum, not the learner. Because most curricula are unable to adapt to individual differences, we have come to recognize that our curricula, rather than our students, are disabled.”
*See Center for Applied Special Technology (2008). Universal design for learning guidelines version 1.0 (p. 4).
UDL PrinciplesProvide Multiple Means of Representation(the "what" of learning).
Provide Multiple Means of Expression (the "how" of learning).
Provide Multiple Means of Engagement (the "why" of learning).

• “These Standards are not intended to be new names for old
ways of doing business. They are a call to take the next step.
It is time for states to work together to build on lessons
learned from two decades of standards based reforms…”
• “All students must have the opportunity to learn and meet the
same high standards if they are to access the knowledge and
skills necessary in their post-school lives. The Standards
should be read as allowing for the widest possible range of
students to participate fully from the outset, along with
appropriate accommodations to ensure maximum
participation of students with special education needs.” (Math
Introduction, pg. 4)
Hands-on Learning with Unit of Study
• Math - Combined portions of
Numbers and Operations with
Operations and Algebraic Thinking−Research behind the standards
(Windshield/Rear View Mirror/grid)−1 unit per grade level/span−IN all units need to add UDL components
and UDL coding to the standards
How to Read the CCSS
• Standards: define what students should understand and
be able to do.
• Clusters: summarize groups of related standards. Note
that standards from different clusters may sometimes be
closely related, because mathematics is a connected
subject.
• Strands/Domains: are larger groups of related
standards. Standards from different strands/domains may
sometimes be closely related.
Learning Progressions• One promise of common state standards is that
over time they will allow research on learning
progressions to inform and improve the design of
standards to a much greater extent than is possible
today. (Math Introduction pg. 5)
• Use of Comparison Report in Curriculum Crafter will
allow an easy comparison of grade level standards.− www.curriculumcrafter.org
Curriculum Crafter
• Find your grade level on the Unit of
Instruction Analysis sheets
• UDL and Comparison Reports
• CCSS document correlation

Review – Q & A
Lunch – 1 Hour (On Your Own)
Continued Work with Unit of Study
Gallery Walk
• Select the standard or group of standards
from those provided to create a unit of
instruction
• Focus on implementing the strategies
discussed today
• Label UDL Guidelines present in lesson.
Specify those that would be specific to
ELL and SWD
Gallery Walk
• Split group in half – half stays at the
poster to answer questions; the
other half does the gallery walk
• We will switch groups once everyone
has made it around the rooms
• Use sticky notes to leave comments
on your friends posters’
Next Steps
• Utilize “clean” copy of the Gallery
Walk pieces to re-create a Gallery
Walk at your school/district
• A forum will be created in Moodle
after the New Year in order for you
to provide feedback on how it went
Thank you!
• See you on February 3rd!
• Find the other members of your
District for some team conversation
