They will be different paths, but they all (hopefully) lead to reaching the intended goal.

Oftentimes, we try to teach to those who fall in the middle of the two and then do our best with our two "hard groups". If we aim for those groups FIRST (when structuring our lessons), we're actually able to accommodate for even more learning to occur.]]> 2021-02-12 19:32:42 UTC https://padlet.com/sharpa10_3/LTISDUDL2/wish/1198016395 Provide choices sheridans7_3 https://padlet.com/sharpa10_3/LTISDUDL2/wish/1198018770 But be open to other ways.

If you are diversifying your lessons with the goal of making sure your sidepins will engage with and understand it, then you're casting a wide enough net for all of your students to engage with and understand the lesson. And as a bonus, in my mind, you're also creating more opportunities for ALL of your pins to feel connected to and engaged with each other.]]> 2021-02-12 19:37:05 UTC https://padlet.com/sharpa10_3/LTISDUDL2/wish/1198034225 Choices, Who Doesn't Like Choices? sheridans7_3 https://padlet.com/sharpa10_3/LTISDUDL2/wish/1198034369 UDL connects to the LTISD Learner Centric Model in providing choices and multiples way to access the curriculum allows for greater success with all of our students. ]]> 2021-02-12 19:37:07 UTC https://padlet.com/sharpa10_3/LTISDUDL2/wish/1198034369 Both the Universal Design and LCM adress the diverse needs of all learners. https://padlet.com/sharpa10_3/LTISDUDL2/wish/1198038187 2021-02-12 19:38:02 UTC https://padlet.com/sharpa10_3/LTISDUDL2/wish/1198038187 How can we create quality choices for students that don't come across as the same worksheet in xyz different formats? vilvenc1_3 https://padlet.com/sharpa10_3/LTISDUDL2/wish/1198042230 i.e. different projects about the same topic, choices for a variety of hands-on activities, creating opportunities for STEM/STEAM, etc.]]> 2021-02-12 19:39:01 UTC https://padlet.com/sharpa10_3/LTISDUDL2/wish/1198042230 By reaching our most challenging students, we will provide a way that will also reach all students. lesleys13_3 https://padlet.com/sharpa10_3/LTISDUDL2/wish/1198045931 2021-02-12 19:39:54 UTC https://padlet.com/sharpa10_3/LTISDUDL2/wish/1198045931 That varying the level of novelty or risk in a classroom is a huge part of UDL. chavezb8 https://padlet.com/sharpa10_3/LTISDUDL2/wish/1198047393 2021-02-12 19:40:16 UTC https://padlet.com/sharpa10_3/LTISDUDL2/wish/1198047393 We strive to meet the needs of all here at LT.

Starting with the curriculum goals and then figuring out a way to engage a learner to master that goal is something I've always done when tutoring reluctant learners. I made the connection today that I can apply this in a way to whole class teaching.]]> 2021-02-12 19:44:16 UTC https://padlet.com/sharpa10_3/LTISDUDL2/wish/1198062039 I like the idea of picking one thing (area of study) to try the UDL approach. Baby steps. :) lesleys13_3 https://padlet.com/sharpa10_3/LTISDUDL2/wish/1198092085 2021-02-12 19:52:27 UTC https://padlet.com/sharpa10_3/LTISDUDL2/wish/1198092085 Baking Cakes stroyk https://padlet.com/sharpa10_3/LTISDUDL2/wish/1198104210 I really liked the analogy in the "No 'Average' Student" video. If the goal is for your learners to master making a cake and you require everyone to show this by making a strawberry cake, then you risk "losing" the learners who don't like strawberry cake, are allergic, or have never had it before. Learner Centric approach invites learners to take ownership of the learning challenge, which makes them more likely to absorb the knowledge.]]> 2021-02-12 19:55:50 UTC https://padlet.com/sharpa10_3/LTISDUDL2/wish/1198104210
