Thank you Georgia and Nannette! You Rock!1

I agree with Evan...will there be more flexibility when it comes to testing and scoring for RC.

UDL has 4 basic principles. The first is that all students can reach goals. Sometimes we forget or lower rigor or goals for students who may be struggling, but when we set goals and provide variability and choice we show students that we believe in them and in turn they learn to believe in themselves. It is important to provide multiple means of not only engagement but in opportunities to show what they know. Finally, the importance of self reflection.

Universal design is an approach to teaching curriculum that minimizes barriers and maximizes learning for all learners. I love providing genuine learning opportunities for all students. I look forward to taking a training on Universal Design. This type of teaching requires specific planning for instruction where teachers anticipate what is needed for all learners to love learning. Giving students the opportunity to choose what and how they learn and share what they learn is a central part of this approach. I am very excited about this! Thank you for sharing this with us. Can we have more trainings on how to implement this approach in our classroom with the Wonders curriculum? I am in the process of getting centers for both language arts and math. When students choose which learning centers activities they complete would this be Universal Design? Thanks again Gerogia

LOVED your UDL version of our UDL training, Georgia! Thank you!!!

- UDL promotes multiples choices and ways for students to synthesize information, but students are still measured by the district and state by standardized testing. How do we bridge that gap between choice in showing their leaning, and absolute standardized testing?

- Will PSUSD allow teachers to decide how they will test their students for report cards? And will there be a training to show elementary teachers specifically how to input grades when standardized test results conflict with anecdotal evidence of learning/mastery?

# data[].attributes.body
Will there be more trainings offered prior to October?

Can we have time to plan vertically?

I enjoyed this and look forward to implementing it.

Do we want to do this with everything? Is there going to be a more updated curriculum that offers more UDL opportunities?

Thank you for presenting, Keith.
Thank you for all of the work you put into the choice board for the PD, Georgia.

It is like a buffet. Giving students a variety of choices
For Kindy it is okay that it is more teacher guided choices
lessons that keep students engaged

See modeling from another teacher or Georgia.

Can we get time at the end of the year to design lessons for the following year?

What support do we have? *able to visit or see videos of classrooms to see UDL in action?

How might we make providing choice in assessment manageable?

What is more brain research that inspired UDL?

# data[].attributes.body
- use resources you already have
- intentional choices for students
- student access to resources from the beginning

We Can DO IT!! ;-)

How does UDL look in PE?

# data[].attributes.body
I learned about the three areas of UDL. The way it looks in a classroom. I learned about in each of the different levels. I learned about how to have a learning goal and how UDL is targeting all the students in our classroom. Planned, designed flexible curriculum, support, challenges and student can acquire the knowledge being taught.
