Ariel - Chapters 1 and 2 of UDL Now reflection

The phases of a first year teacher graph on page 5 are amazingly accurate, even in my 3rd year teaching 5th grade.

My overall takeaway from the two chapters is that we need to learn to design lessons that are adapted for the types of learners we have in our class.  Like when you write a formal paper, one should consider the demographic of the person reading.

I need to work harder at including multiple means of representation and allowing my students to have choices as to how they demonstrate their knowledge.

Collaboration and support are important for all but I think especially important for new teachers.

2 things that I took away from reading chapter 2 was that UDL teachers eliminate the barriers to learning by proactively planning. Another thing was that UDL is built on years of research and activates 3 parts of the brain.

if everyone in a group believes that they each have a responsibility in the group’s success, they will most likely want to contribute and work to the best of their ability, and the collective whole will achieve much higher standards and overcome greater challenges.

Ch. 2 take-aways:
1. UDL aims to provide multiple means of engagement, representation and action/expression.
2. There are four core questions that teachers should consider in lesson planning: What do we want students to learn? How will we know if they’ve learned it? What will we do if they haven’t? How will we extend the learning of students who have mastered the content?

Chapter 2

- I need to be a better student of my students in order to engage them in learning.

- I need to provide my students with more options to choose from. In math different methods can be used to get to the same answer.

Chapter 2-
-Eliminating barriers so every student can succeed.
- if you can tap into all three networks in a lesson, your students will learn more.

What I got from chapter 1, is that collaboration is very important when changing teaching practice because it’s having your own support system.
Also, it is extremely important to work with a PLC team towards a common goal.

I thought the chapters 1 & 2 assignment was good. The 2 takeaways I had was that UDL works when you prepare well and that it doesn’t have to be everyday. For chapter 2, my takeaways were that the guidelines are there to support you and they bring real world experience.

# data[].attributes.body
Chapter 1
: Start with the big picture
: UDL is not a checklist

# data[].attributes.body
-5 phases of a first year teacher was amazing because it is extremely accurate. Mostly because after December, teachers come back refreshed.
-The weight loss mindset will increase collective efficacy and will make it more likely that educators will use UDL practices.

To be successful you need to reflect at the end of the lesson or end of the year on what worked well and what didn’t.

UDL takes time. It won’t happen over night. You need to stay consistent and it will happen.
