Overcoming Barriers to Learning
Applying UDL tools for Representation and Action/Expression
January 18, 2016
1:00-2:30pm
Text version of the guidelines with rationale and research: UDL_Guidelines_Version_2.0(doc)
Presenters: Lauri Silver and Nina Austin
Workshop Website: http://udlpd.weebly.com/
This session will expose participants to a direct application of tools to upcoming content standards. Participants will investigate each of the principles, barriers to learning and applications to the classroom through the lens of their own lesson plans.
Outcomes
- Analyze how many of the methods, materials and assessments in lessons present barriers to learning for some students.
- Explore the Educator Checklist and other tools that provide flexible options in planning and redesigning instruction.
- Reflect on the use of UDL principles in your teaching practice.

Content Standards and Resources
ENGLISH LANGUAGE ARTS
W.6.2a: WC organize ideas, concepts, and information, using strategies such as definition, classification, comparison/contrast, and cause/effect
W 6.2a: WC introduce a topic clearly, previewing what is to follow
W.6.2b: WC develop the topic with relevant facts, definitions, concrete details, quotations, or other information and examples
W.6.8: quote or paraphrase the data and conclusions of others while avoiding plagiarism and providing basic bibliographic information for sources
Achieve the Core: ELACollege Board- SAT items are similar to PARCCJamestown Publishing- 6 Way Paragraphs
Curriculet
www.curriculet.com
This website has ebooks for sale and free reading passages from ReadWorks.org ( a really great reading website with leveled fiction and nonfiction passages!) You may also upload your own reading passages/content. As students read a text, questions, quizzes, and annotations pop out of the text.You can also build your own Curriculet or select from 100s of developed curriculets that are aligned to the CCSS for Reading.
VocabGrabber
https://www.visualthesaurus.com/vocabgrabber/#
VocabGrabber is part of the website visual thesaurus that allows you to enter any text and analyze it for the frequency of words by making them larger, you can also sort the words in a list so you can see the number of times each word was used. It also assigns tags linking the word to a particular subject area. You can click on each word and be given the visual thesaurus for that word, along with definitions and examples from the text. There are many options to sort, filter and view the vocabulary list. VocabGrabber is silimar to wordle, but does not require a java plugin and doesn't look like the typical "word cloud".

SOCIAL STUDIES
Explain how major events are related to one another in time.
Compare and contrast differing interpretations of current and historical events.
Assess the credibility of sources by identifying bias and prejudice
Analyze primary and secondary sources for reconstructing the past and understanding historical perspectives (i.e., documents, letters, diaries, maps, images, etc.).
Link to resources that include an outline of one method to cover Greece and Rome and a general outline for a Westward Expansion mini unit and the DBQ we created to go with the unit. https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0BzxR5zSk23CyLVktVzdmeURXcEE&usp=sharing
