Description

Do you clear ramps or shovel steps? Our answer to this question lies in how we recognize and address variability. Join Matt Bergman as he shares strategies for clearing ramps or proactively addressing high probability learning barriers with accessible design. Participants will also dig deeper into the UDL Guidelines to develop a toolbox of ready-to-implement low-tech and high-tech UDL resources and strategies. Special emphasis will be placed on applying the UDL principle "Multiple Means of Representation" and the UDL Progression Rubric. Participants will also have an opportunity to redesign a content-specific lesson, assignment, or assessment that they can immediately use with their students.

Objectives

Discuss strategies for applying the UDL principle "Multiple Means of Representation" to present information to students in a way they understand. Examine how the UDL Progression Rubric can be used as a road map to incorporate the principles of UDL into lessons as well as a tool to measure the progress of implementing these principles.
