Presenter: Alisa Lowery and Susan Thomas
Description: The purpose of this session is to use the Universal Design for Learning (UDL) framework in your instructional design. Proactive instructional design is a hallmark of the UDL framework and is critical in including all learners by providing both physical and cognitive access to instruction. Goals, methods, materials, and assessments combine to create our curriculum. A UDL-based curriculum emphasizes flexibility in goals, methods, materials, and assessments to reduce barriers and honor learner variability across representation, expression, and engagement. We can use the UDL Design Cycle, partnered with High Leverage Practices and individualized evidence-based practices, to design inclusive lessons. This session should support your instructional design with those tools and processes. In the afternoonfour high-leverage instructional practices that can be used universally and can be intensified to meet the individual needs of students in both general and special education settings. Participants will learn the critical components for utilizing cognitive strategies, scaffolding, feedback, and task difficulty, sequencing, and choice. There will be a time for participants to identify and design methods to specially design these strategies within the UDL framework.
