5 1Lara Lund September 18, 2015 EDUC 142-2 IRIS Module 3 1. Briefly describe Universal Design for Learning. Make sure to include three principles of UDL.  Representation- showing information and course content in various formats so that all students can access it by offering options (visual, auditory, etc.) or background information in several ways  Action and Expression letting students choose how to express or explain what they have learned by offering options for responding (online media, speech, film, etc.)  Engagement- encouraging students’ interests and enthusiasm for learning in a variety of ways by providing options that increase the significance and legitimacy of instructional activity and support collaboration. 2. When they develop goals using the principles of UDL, what is the main thing that teachers need to keep in mind?  The instructional materials- the media and tools used for teaching content  Assessments- the method used for measuring student learning  Instructional methods- the manner in which the content is taught  Learning goals- a description of what students are expected to learn to promote success  Barriers that make learning difficult for the student 3. Next week, Mr. Schlotzsky, and eighth-grade social studies teacher, will begin a chapter on colonial America. He’ll lecture, write notes on the chalkboard, and give his students handouts. To assess their knowledge, Mr. Schlotzsky will ask his students to research colonial America in greater depth on the Internet and to give a three-to-five- minute oral presentation. Help Mr. Schlotzsky to evaluate the traditional materials and media he plans to use. For each a) list any potential barriers and b) suggest UDL solutions. Components Barriers UDL Solution Lecture/Notes on chalkboard Students with visual or auditory difficulties may not be able to see/hear the information Offer a presentation with slides to offer an alternative to auditory and put it online so students with visual impairments can get the presentation directly in front of them on a computer or tablet Handouts Students may not be able to decode and comprehend written text Digital text an be used to students can increase the font size and focus on the

words Internet research Students may not have access to the Internet Allow students to get information from other media outlets such as books that can be borrowed at a library or newspapers Oral report Students may not be able hear and identify key points Offer some sort of written presentation that specifically outlines vital information. 4. Imagine that you are a second-grade teacher beginning a unit on plants. You wish to make certain that you address the three principles of UDL. Describe the instructional methods you would use to present the information, assess your students, and maintain their engagement in the subject.  Give students several examples and highlight important information  Use multiple media outlets to present information  Provide constructive criticism and feedback  Allow students to respond to the lesson in multiple ways  Model skills in a variety of ways  Offer choices of content and tools  Provide adjustable levels of challenge  Allow options for the learning environment or context 5. At the beginning of the year, Ms. Hamilton, a tenth-grade biology teacher, collected information about her students’ learning preferences and learning needs. Of her twenty-nine students, twelve prefer to learn information through visual means, ten prefer to hear the information, and seven prefer to learn it using a hands- on0approach. Additionally, two students struggle with reading and several have difficulty planning and organizing writing assignments. Help Ms. Hamilton to design a lesson about DNA. Make sure to state the learning goal and to identify materials, instructional methods, and assessment techniques.  Learning goal-to understand the function and importance of DNA  Materials- PowerPoint presentations, audiobooks, and digital text  Instructional methods- accompany lectures with PowerPoint and then offer the students the chance to read from audiobooks to further their understanding of the topic  Assessment techniques-have students choose between oral and written reports
