Journey to UDL: Reframing Lesson Design Using the UDL Framework

Analyzing lessons and recognizing barriers, the need for UDL was critical to optimize learning for all students, especially in the mist of the pandemic. Utilizing the UDL framework, lessons were redesigned and became the skeletal frame to guide the learning in the lessons.

About

The CAPMSE design team worked collaboratively to build a K-8 math and science lesson repository. The design team vetted lessons based on the Universal Design for Learning framework. The intention of the repository was to have ready-to-use k-8 math and science lessons that were accessible in a distance learning environment, a digital environment, and/or an in-person classroom setting. 

Analyzing lessons and recognizing barriers, the need for UDL was critical to optimize learning for all students, especially in the mist of the pandemic. Utilizing the UDL framework, lessons were redesigned and became the skeletal frame to guide the learning in the lessons.

About

This session will share the results of a just-in-time webinar series that probed into Florida’s math classrooms during the pandemic. Over 700 participants provided peer-to-peer support regarding what is working within the innovative learning environments.
Webinars within this series focused on: 

  • Universal Design for Learning in Math
  • B.E.S.T. Standards
  • Standards-Based Instruction

A quick inquiry into Florida’s learning options revealed a meaningful look at the following questions pertaining to teaching math: 

  • What do you need immediate support with? 
  • What is the biggest obstacle?
  • What have you found to be successful in increasing student outcomes (e.g., resources/strategies)?
  • How does UDL provide the framework for success? 

This webinar series heard the voices of those teaching and or supporting math classrooms and provided evidence of the importance of UDL for reaching all students in teaching mathematics in the traditional and innovative learning environments. Join us on this data journey.

You Don’t Have to be an Instructional Designer to Design Great Math and Science Instruction

Now that we’ve had some time to reflect on the ongoing shift in learning environments, it’s time to move beyond compliance and take a look at how to design active and engaging digital math and STEM instruction that engages and supports diverse learners.

About

During the rapid move to remote learning, many hardworking educators were stretched to their limits. Juggling compliance with schools and state requirements, and remodeling their teaching strategies and classroom activities to ensure students kept on track. Now that we’ve had some time to reflect on the ongoing shift in learning environments, it’s time to move beyond compliance and take a look at how to design active and engaging digital math and STEM instruction that engages and supports diverse learners.

Providing Options and Breaking Down Barriers in Math

This resource focuses on how UDL and the Standards for Mathematical Practice (SMPs) converge to develop expert learner traits in mathematics.

No votes yet

About
This interactive session focuses on how UDL and the Standards for Mathematical Practice (SMPs) converge to develop expert learner traits in mathematics. By examining links between the UDL guidelines and effective teaching practices that engage students in the SMPs, participants will be able to reduce barriers to student learning in the classroom. Participants will walk away with research-informed instructional strategies for eliciting student thinking and using it to provide options that deepen learning for all students.

UDL Supports for Math and Science

Martin McKay discusses new approaches to allow students to express their math knowledge and consume math and science subjects in several new innovative ways.

No votes yet

About

Over the past number of years, UDL supports and scaffolding for literacy have become increasingly available, however math instruction has remained primarily and stubbornly a paper-based practice.  

On average, over 60% of 4th and 8th graders are not proficient in Math, and estimated remedial math enrollment continues to rise each year. The COVID-19 pandemic has meant that math teachers all over the world have been thrust into remote instruction using digital tools.

So how can the UDL framework help us to guide our students?

During this session Martin discusses new approaches to allow students to express their math knowledge and consume math and science subjects in several new innovative ways. The expression of accessible math & science by predictive typing, speaking, writing and even OCR of and handwritten math is now a reality.
