UDL Principles


34

Scaffolding vs. RescuingScaffolding refers to a variety of instructional techniques used to move students progressively toward stronger understanding and, ultimately, greater independence in the learning process.

Hidden curriculum (2014, August 26). In S. Abbott (Ed.), The glossary of education reform. Retrieved from http://edglossary.org/hidden-curriculum


35

Scaffolding vs. RescuingRescuing refers to the teacher assisting the struggling learner too early and too deeply, thus not allowing the student to experience critical thinking and make mistakes as part of the learning process.

• Subgroup of Students who have the most persistent and severe learning and behavioral problems

• Students it a tiered program who have NOT responded to evidence-based intervention

• Students consistently NOT making adequate progress in meeting IEP goals

DBI• When and HOW to intensify USING DATA

• Systematic and frequent collection and analysis of student-level data……(page 3 DBI)

• DBI includes adapting and individualizing interventions that are implemented at the secondary level
