Based upon a common set of standards
Designed to enable each child to engage in the experiences………..
AND SUCCEED!

Appropriate Level of ChallengeTo challenge a child appropriately is an essential part of the process
What is appropriate challenge?
Zone of Proximal Development
Independent With support
≤ ZPD ≥
(Vygotsky, 1962)

An Easy Way to Remember…..
Goldilocks Principle!
“Not too difficult, not too easy, but just right!”

The Hazards
Many factors CAN become hazards
Vary according to the child
Vary in impact
![Page 10: Building Success into the K- 12 Journey Susan M. Connolly Combined Summer Institute 2009 Universal Design for Learning](https://reader037.vdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022110116/551a9b63550346e0158b5651/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Examples of Hazards
Learning experiences….Require knowledge or skills missing or
inconsistently presentNOT considerate of the child’s learning
strengths and learning challenges NOT considerate of the child’s special
needs
![Page 11: Building Success into the K- 12 Journey Susan M. Connolly Combined Summer Institute 2009 Universal Design for Learning](https://reader037.vdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022110116/551a9b63550346e0158b5651/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Roadblocks

Hazards + Roadblocks = Missed Connections
Incomplete understanding
Carry forward from school year to school year
Ripple effect

Universal Design for Learning
Designing curriculum with access in mind
Learning experiences designed to support individual learning differences using multiple, flexible means

Universal Design in Education
Access to the curriculum
Multiple sources of content
Multiple formats and media
Multiple options (choices)
![Page 17: Building Success into the K- 12 Journey Susan M. Connolly Combined Summer Institute 2009 Universal Design for Learning](https://reader037.vdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022110116/551a9b63550346e0158b5651/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
The Learning Brain
1 trillion neurons and 10 trillion connections create a dense and complex network
3 primary, specialized sub-networks, functionally distinguishable yet highly connected
Equally essential in learning
![Page 18: Building Success into the K- 12 Journey Susan M. Connolly Combined Summer Institute 2009 Universal Design for Learning](https://reader037.vdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022110116/551a9b63550346e0158b5651/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Neuro-networks and Learning (L. Vygotsky)
3 networks parallel conditions for learningRecognize information to be learned
Apply strategies to process that information
Engage with the learning task
(Lev Vygotsky as referenced in Meyer & Rose, (2002). Teaching Every Student in the Digital Age: Universal Design for Learning. ASCD, Virginia.)

Universal Design for Learning:Network FunctionsRecognition Networks
Function: Assign meaning to patterns In classroom: Identify, understand, classify ideas and
concepts
Strategic Networks Function: Plan and generate processes - cognitive or physical In classroom: Organize, decide how to proceed, execute, and
reflect on all tasks and processes
Affective Networks Function: Evaluate patterns and assign emotional significance In classroom: Motivation to participate in and engage with
tasks and learning; Sense of self and abilities; Confidence

Implementing UDL
Understand the the strengths and challenges of each child
Understand the potential barriers in the curriculum
Design learning experiences to support the networks & minimize barriers

Designing Learning Experiences the UDL Way
Let’s Try It!
![Page 28: Building Success into the K- 12 Journey Susan M. Connolly Combined Summer Institute 2009 Universal Design for Learning](https://reader037.vdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022110116/551a9b63550346e0158b5651/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)

Our Process
Learning experience “traditionally designed”
Decide if your student can be successful
Hold up the appropriate signal
![Page 30: Building Success into the K- 12 Journey Susan M. Connolly Combined Summer Institute 2009 Universal Design for Learning](https://reader037.vdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022110116/551a9b63550346e0158b5651/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Our Traffic Signals
Appropriate for student
Support or change needed
Student cannot complete task
![Page 31: Building Success into the K- 12 Journey Susan M. Connolly Combined Summer Institute 2009 Universal Design for Learning](https://reader037.vdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022110116/551a9b63550346e0158b5651/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Re-designing the Experience with UDLThe learning experience will then be re-designed to reflect principles of UDL
Re-evaluate: Now can your student succeed? Hold up the appropriate signal.
![Page 32: Building Success into the K- 12 Journey Susan M. Connolly Combined Summer Institute 2009 Universal Design for Learning](https://reader037.vdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022110116/551a9b63550346e0158b5651/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)

Use a teacher-created scaffold to guide the research process
![Page 37: Building Success into the K- 12 Journey Susan M. Connolly Combined Summer Institute 2009 Universal Design for Learning](https://reader037.vdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022110116/551a9b63550346e0158b5651/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Supporting Affective Networks Students choose the media/format for the
historical accountWritten reportDrawings, cartoons, diorama, etcCreate a video: historical fiction or
documentaryCreate a radio program script
Students can work alone, with a partner, or a small group
![Page 38: Building Success into the K- 12 Journey Susan M. Connolly Combined Summer Institute 2009 Universal Design for Learning](https://reader037.vdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022110116/551a9b63550346e0158b5651/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
