Direct instruction
Evaluates the individual needs and modifies it to fit the need of the student

1) UDL "eliminates barriers to learning by proactively and deliberately planning curriculum that all students can access".
2) By providing multiple ways of engagement, students will be more apt to learn the content.

# data[].attributes.body
My biggest take away was how DI and UDL were similar but yet the differences between them are important to learn

You need to make sure you know what tools you are going to use within your lessons

# data[].attributes.body
Equal opportunity for all students.
Access to grade level content up front

My takeaway from Ch. 2:
UDL is more effective than direct instruction.

# data[].attributes.body
One difference between UDL and DI is that UDL is proactive its a way teaching all lessones and DI is reactive, after assessment.

1. Differentiated Instruction is an effective teaching framework that provides different avenues for diverse learners.
2. UDL is a way of thinking about teaching and learning that gives all students an equal opportunity to learn.

# data[].attributes.body
My first big take away is the difference between UDL and DI. Second is that UDL is more about eliminating barriers, not just providing students with tools to overcome them. -Jessica

Our most memorable teachers seem to have the most impact on us.
UDL and DI are like siblings, where they both provide choice/options to students, but they do so in their own way.

Chapter 2
It’s crucial to have the support of a team member. 😀

# data[].attributes.body
UDL is NOT DI

# data[].attributes.body
PLC can be very beneficial

# data[].attributes.body
One take away is collaboration creates a support system that allows you share in each others struggles.

# data[].attributes.body
-UDL is more effective when teams of teachers adopt the framework and work together
- I liked how they compared collaboration with teachers to losing weight and how they can be similar

My 2 takeaways from chapter one were that the phases of first year teacher's attitudes toward teaching were spot on and support from colleagues is essential to first year survival.

For chapter 2 my takeaways were it's imperative for students to understand the purpose of the lesson and that it has to have value for them. Deanna

I really associated myself with the phases of first year teachers attitudes. I feel like no matter what year of a teaching you are in you somewhat can relate to wave of emotions and it is comforting knowing everyone is feeling the same way. This correlates directly with resources and support given to new teachers. Without support from colleagues survival is difficult.
Ch 2
The part about Tim not bringing a pencil to school reminds me of my students, because for some of them not having a pencil is a rel life obstacle for them and handling that situation doesn't have to be as serious as we think.

Chapter 1:
1. Shift in teaching practice is similar to weight loss. It takes commitment, a growth mindset, time, and support.
2. Educators of all levels need to support one another.

Chapter 2:
1. Educators who make curriculum relevant and challenging keep students engaged.
2. The mentors, teachers, instructors, and coaches that challenge us but also give us options and support are the ones we will remember most.

Teaching is like losing weight, just when you think things are going good, something brings cookies for the staff lounge.

1) Implementing UDL is a learning process that takes trail, review and change, and try again.
2) Working with a team will make the process more enjoyable and successful.

# data[].attributes.body
Collaboration is an essential practice that provides fair education for all students.

Collective efficacy in practice seems like a ethic teachers will or will not hold, even though it has been shown time and time again to have an immense impact on the student body as a whole.

# data[].attributes.body
1. We cannot prevent the challenges students face but we can alleviate them by providing a welcoming learning environment.
2. Having an accountability group is important and will help when implementing UDL.

# data[].attributes.body
1.
-Having a team to collaborate with is a huge support system.
-We must work with what we are given. We can not control where our students live or what their home life is like, but what we can do is help them as much as possible while they are with us.

2.
-Giving Every student an equal chance is what either makes or breaks a student
- I loved the analogy between UDL and DI

Support - and a growth mindset - are critical for implementing UDL strategies! PLC's implementing UDL at the same time will help increase efficacy. -Jessica

Chapter 1: I found it interesting how they related UDL to the biggest loser, I had never thought about it in that way. I also gained a better understanding of what efficacy means and how you can show it in your planning and teaching.

Chapter 2: I like how they related using UDL to menu-planning, you may have to accommodate students in all sorts of different way but still make sure they are getting the "nutrients" you need. So by thinking of all the barriers or obstacles first will help you implement these accommodations. I also liked how on page 8 they broke it down into phases visually, it helped me to the guidelines. -Chelsea Ryan

Collaboration is important when new teaching practices are being implemented.

Make sure you have a support system if you want to stay on track with your weight loss

Is when teachers believe that together they can inspire growth and change (through their actions) in their students and influence student outcomes .
