Design Ron Mace coined the term "universal design" to describe the concept of designing all products and the built environment to be aesthetic and usable to the greatest extent possible by everyone, regardless of their age, ability, or status in life. 1941-1998 Ron Mace, founderand program director of The Center for Universal Design Slide credit: www. cast.org
- 6. for Learning Building in flexibility, rather than retrofitting to adapt Removing barriers by anticipating the needs of all students Not “one size fits all”
- 7. What is UDL? A UDL approach assumes that students with varying needs will be involved in learning, and that the curriculum… the goals the instructional methods the instructional materials , and the assessments …need to address this diversity.
- 8. Educational reforms that have set the stage for UDL Classroom demographic changes Greater understanding of brain development and learning (multiple pathways for learning) Educational legislation: Emphasis on progress for ALL children -NCLB /AYP - IDEA (FAPE in the LRE) Understanding that one size does not fit all

- 10. CAST, UDL, and brain networks Recognition networks Gathering facts. How we identify and categorize what we see, hear, and read. Identifying letters, words, or an author's style are recognition tasks—the "what" of learning. Strategic networks Planning and performing tasks. How we organize and express our ideas. Writing an essay or solving a math problem are strategic tasks—the "how" of learning. Affective networks How students are engaged and motivated. How they are challenged, excited, or interested. These are affective dimensions—the "why" of learning.

- 15. Using a curriculum that is rooted in 3 UDL principles… Teachers provide: Flexible ways of presenting lesson content Flexible options for student engagement Flexible methods of expression, and assessment Students have: Options for how they receive content Choices which will engage student interest Choices for how they demonstrate their learning

- 18. How do you incorporate the principles of UDL ?
- 19. Relook at curriculum… Start with a manageable curriculum unit Be clear on the goals of the unit Be clear on what students need to do to show mastery Determine what the instructional barriers are for a range of students Determine what tools would help this Identify more flexible methods, materials and assessments
- 20. Reexamine instructional strategies Match your instructional activities to the range of learners in your classroom Challenge yourself to incorporate more flexible methods, materials and assessments. Consider technology tools.
- 21. UDL History and Technology The American Disabilities Act prompted rethinking about architectural design for disabled individuals. The concept of universal design has also been applied to web page designs, which enables users with sensory impairments to access the internet. More recently, universal design has been applied to education, in part because the technology is more available to make it possible.
- 22. “Universal design for learning does not remove academic challenges for students; it removes barriers to access. Simply stated, universal design is just good teaching. - Ohio State University Partnership Grant, 2003

- #6: For the underpinnings of our design solution, we turn to Ron Mace and universal design in architecture and product development. Ron Mace coined the term "universal design" to describe the concept of designing all products and the built environment to be aesthetic and usable to the greatest extent possible by everyone, regardless of their age, ability, or status in life. With universal design, it is assumed that individuals with varied needs will be accessing the building and alternative ways of entering and navigating are designed into the first drawing.
