1. What are the learning gaps among my students? Integrating Knowledge is probably the largest gap for my students.

2. What aspects of the UDL framework address my students’ gaps? All of them do but especially providing options for comprehension and executive functions.

3. What aspect of the UDL framework can I incorporate? I want to focus most on recruiting interest by offering more independent reading activities and options for executive functions so students can self-evaluate.

4. How will I incorporate the framework? I'll be sure to vary the way I give and receive information.

I will implement an array of executive functions to enable students to create plans to meet their needs based on performance data.I will utilize mindfulness activities to engage/focus students in the process of constructing integrated knowledge..I will encourage a growth mindset for my students to honor their productive struggles as a learning tool.

Heighten salience of goals and objectives.
Keeping and maintaining clear and measurable objectives is a must when working with people. Clearly stating and keeping up with the objective at hand must be a focus when trying to overcome the task at hand. We must do that by displaying the goal in written expression, verbally speaking about it, and having others formulate their own touch on the goals/objectives they are presented with. By setting long term goals and completing them with obtainable short term objectives, one can achieve mostly anything they are challenged with. I'll be working on the above UDL sustaining effort and persistence goal to better my students along with myself.

1. Learning gaps among my students are acknowledging when they do not fully understand a concept and taking action to fix it.
2. Aspects of the UDL framework that address my students gaps are mainly the steps within the Engagement column. These bullets point out a need for creating and reaching "objectives" as well as "optimiz(ing) relevance, value and authenticity."
3. We can incorporate pretty much all aspects of the UDL framework because each strategy can be applied to specific lesson plans.
4. We will incorporate the framework by using it as a reference tool to help better plan instruction within our classrooms. This will be most useful after an attempt at teaching a concept > it can help to fill the gaps or flaws in the instruction so we can better teach students who struggle with the subject matter.

1.  Learning gaps for my students exist in Key Ideas and Details, mostly.  Students have gaps in good reading practices, so to close those gaps, we will have to practice reading strategies.  My AP students have gaps in rhetorical analysis and in analyzing 19th century texts.
2.  A little bit of everything, honestly.  I feel that I hit a lot of them over the course of a lesson, but I need to be more explicit in my planning with them so that I can help the students close gaps.  And, in a discussion of identifying and closing gaps, it is important to acknowledge that teachers have gaps here, too--not everyone was trained the same way to be in the classroom.
3. I will work on explicitly implementing Action & Expression UDL means--If I can get students working as hard as I do, we can have shared accountability for our progress in the classroom.
4. Explicitly planning with it in mind--making connections to each part of the Learning-Focused LP.

1. The learning gaps among my students were integration of knowledge and ideas. The students do not have much difficulty with being interested/engaged in the content, but expanding their knowledge beyond the basic content is the most challenging.
2.  The aspects of the UDL framework that addresses my students' learning gaps mostly falls into the representation portion. This mostly applies to the "provide multiple means of representation" portion specifically the highlight patterns, critical features, big ideas, and relationships portion and guide information processing, visualization, and manipulation.
3/4. The aspects of the UDL framework that I can incorporate would be to maximize on the students' engagement and make it a point to highlight patterns obviously with guided practice and modeling how to identify patterns in the material and encouraging students to locate patterns and make connections with the information by incorporating their interests.

1. In my future students, I believe the learning gaps are going to be in the FSA strands of Key Ideas and Details and Craft and Structure. This means mostly vocabulary knowledge, main idea, citing evidence...all the hallmarks of strong readers.

2. All of them? I need to start with students feeling safe and interested (recruiting interest) and then I will move through the framework as I can!

3. The biggest change in using the framework will be working more in providing options for language! I need to do more vocabulary development in context.

4. I am going to affix it to my desk to be a constant reminder in my lesson plan and work through this as I can with my students. Using the framework will mostly change my planning structure! I have so many more thoughts but I am running out of time :)

1. My students are hard workers and strive to succeed, but I feel that they wait on me to tell them where they are at instead of being self-aware of their own skill gaps.
2.  The UDL point that my students need to work on is self-assessment and reflection, under engagement.
3. I can use the framework that helps to give students a better understanding of their own skill sets.
4. I will be using some AVID data forms to help students keep track of their own data and track their own progress.

1. The learning gaps in my science class would com with their vocabulary. the background knowledge is well below what a 6th grader should be at.
2. I think the why is a huge part of the gap my students have. Why are they at this point? Why are they not father in thier knowledge? I think that i have to provide more interaction with the students to find were they are and to be able to improve the rest you have to know where the student is coming form.  if they slept in a cardboard box last night do you really think they care about the potential energy of a marble on  a table.
3. I think the w's are a must in the incorporation of the learning process.  Why What and the w on the end of the how.
4. I am going to create a more interactive centers to create more background knowledge.

# data[].attributes.body
1.  The learning gaps I have discovered throughout my classroom are vocabulary and comprehension strategies.  Students have limited background knowledge and I feel that is why they struggle with the vocabulary.

2.  Representation of vocabulary and symbols address my students gaps.  Also, clarification of syntax and decoding text will help address those issues.

3.  I can incorporate word walls and visual representations of those words.

4.  Students can create their own visual representation through Google Slides and even their own index cards for reference.

1. The learning gaps with my students are mostly when it comes to reading, vocabulary, and comprehension. They can read verbally fluently for the most part, but they do not understand what they are reading. I realized a few years ago that they don't visualize anything that they are reading, so I want to work more on the visualization of text this year. My students have a learning gap when it comes to making connections and information processing.
2. Providing multiple means of representation in UDL addresses my students' gaps, and that's where I want to focus this year. I want to provide more options for comprehension and approach reading comprehension in a different way from just reading and answering questions. I also want to provide options for perception.
3. I'm going to incorporate providing more options in my classroom when it comes to text choices, interpreting text choices, and presenting their understanding of the texts. I'd like to have longer projects with more choices so that students can choose something they find more relevant and able to interpret and show their understanding of.
4. I definitely want to work on larger projects with more choice and flipped learning so that I can help them with their work and understanding in school, while they learn at home. Ultimately they will have choices in how to present their learning, but then all have to take the same test afterwards in order to prepare them for the FSA, which is a standardized test.

1. Student learning gaps include recognizing their own levels and assessing their progress.
2. Providing options for self-regulation under Engagement.
3. Developing self-assessment and reflection under the "providing multiple means of engagement" directly addresses this gap.
4. I will use student data folders with current levels and goal setting...which will lead to student-led conferences. This will ensure that students are aware and take ownership of their own progress.

1. learning gaps among my students include reading levels and vocabulary comprehension.  sometimes my students know how to solve different problems with different  scenarios, just struggle to know when to apply it.

2. I will try and find alternative ways to communicate with my students using multiple tools to do so.
3. I think I am will also try and design my classroom to allow for different forms of expression so students who aren't great oral communicators will have the opportunity to express their solutions graphically.
4. In schoology I will create a space that will allow students to communicate questions/answers with me using different multi media methods including video chat,  journaling, and pics of worked out solutions.

1. The learning gaps among my students is that they are ELL and lack vocabulary.  I must supply background knowledge.
2. With an ELL population I think that representation with opportunity for using technology in class.
3. I plan on using data notebooks in my class this year.  I want my students to set monthly goals.  I am also planning on having them graph growth points.
4. I will use a variety of tools to meet the needs of individual students.

1. Learning Gaps- I will be in the gifted class for 2nd grade which is a whole new thing for me, so I am not able to say what the learning gaps will be. I think maybe comprehension would be a weak area.

2. The UDL framework fits with my teaching. Students are motivated and ready to goal set and plan for themselves. They will be able to make choice about their own learning.

3. I will improve on sustaining effort and persistance to help learners be more effective.

4. I will use schoology tools to help plan now before the school year starts to make differentiated assignments.

# data[].attributes.body
The learning gaps among my students are various... lack of confidence that holds them back from moving forward academically and socially. Reading comprehension blockage.

UDL framework that address my students' gaps - develop self-assessment and reflection, maximize transfer and generalization, clarify vocab and symbols, syntax and structure, support decoding.

I can incorporate the aspects pointed above, however it will look very differently for each student and grade level I teach. I'll have to focus on the basics of Math and ELA for some, and decoding the complexity of the same subject for others a bit more advanced.

Prior to incorporating the frameworks I'll need to reassess the students' when they return, and first work on recruiting interest again, focusing on optimizing relevance, value, and authenticity... focusing on starting confidence and coping build up; then, introduce the framework for academic concepts....
