About
Currently in the classroom, we have a large number of students with cultural and linguistic diversity. At the Pontifical Catholic University of Puerto Rico, we receive students from the United States, Haiti, and Europe among others. To create a learning environment accessible to all individuals, incorporating live subtitles and translators provide alternatives for representation and expression of the content offered in class. The use of technology tools provide multimodal options to present the content. This workshop works with different technological tools and applications that allow the creation of subtitles and visuals in a simple and easily accessible way.

About

This provocative UDL Talk presented at the 2017 UDL-IRN Summit, explores the connection between Culturally Responsive Teaching and Universal Design for Learning. Joni Degnar, UDL Facilitator at Bartholomew Consolidated School Corporation and CAST Cadre Member, describes the merits of designing culturally responsive classrooms. She outlines common barriers to designing culturally sensitive curriculum and challenges educators to examine their own cultural biases in relation to classroom culture and student success. She provides many practical strategies for assessing and overcoming cultural barriers. This resource also includes a detailed conference proceeding that describes her work with teachers, UDL and Cultural Responsiveness.

Culturally Responsive Teaching and the UDL Connection: UDL-IRN Summit 2017 Proceedings

Document Summary:

This proceeding provides additional strategies and resources to help educators design instruction and classroom practices that encourage Cultrually Responsive Teaching through the UDL framework.

Proceeding Abstract: As our schools become increasingly culturally diverse, it is critical for us to design learning environments that not only honor learner variability but also cultural variability. All students must feel a deep and authentic connection to education and the learning environments in which they invest their time and efforts. We know that we can design flexible and accessible learning environments through the UDL framework, but how can we take our UDL implementation to the next level and create culturally accessible learning environments through the UDL framework as well.

This pretty much sums up the connection - 

"Culturally responsive teaching insists on honoring variability, the very hallmark of Universal Design for
Learning. Universal Design for Learning depends on knowing students and developing strong positive relation-
ships with them so that we might honor the kind of learners they already are and, through the framework, move them closer to being expert learners."
