My only question with this, is that this seems like making a personalized plan for every single student instead of UDL that works for all students. https://padlet.com/matthewhickson/g6thgnxymva2pz82/wish/2466494139 2023-02-02 17:24:06 UTC https://padlet.com/matthewhickson/g6thgnxymva2pz82/wish/2466494139 UDL Connection matthewhickson https://padlet.com/matthewhickson/g6thgnxymva2pz82/wish/2466495086 Mastery oriented feedback promotes motivation and personalizes student feedback.]]> 2023-02-02 17:24:40 UTC https://padlet.com/matthewhickson/g6thgnxymva2pz82/wish/2466495086 UDL Connection matthewhickson https://padlet.com/matthewhickson/g6thgnxymva2pz82/wish/2466498068 Guiding appropriate goal setting around how much a student expects to accomplish each day in a self-paced learning environment.]]> 2023-02-02 17:27:03 UTC https://padlet.com/matthewhickson/g6thgnxymva2pz82/wish/2466498068 Increasing Learner Ownership and Self-Awareness matthewhickson https://padlet.com/matthewhickson/g6thgnxymva2pz82/wish/2466502037 Resources emphasize students reflecting on their own learning and increasingly (over time) becoming more capable of advocating for learning that works from them and motivated to leverage their strengths.]]> 2023-02-02 17:29:55 UTC https://padlet.com/matthewhickson/g6thgnxymva2pz82/wish/2466502037 Mastery Based Learning https://padlet.com/matthewhickson/g6thgnxymva2pz82/wish/2466503780 Assessments focus on whether students have mastered the material, regardless of the manner in which they demonstrate that mastery]]> 2023-02-02 17:31:15 UTC https://padlet.com/matthewhickson/g6thgnxymva2pz82/wish/2466503780 The LVP - Learner Variability Project - talks about the four pillars of learner variability which are almost identical to the parts of UDL. This article talks about context and content, and I think especially when we think about students that prefer video vs text or ELL's, blended learning is so important. It's important to have options for students, so both videos that they can watch, pause, and rewind as well as resources that are printed so that students can read. Some students are audio learners and some are visual, so having more than one option or format is critical. https://padlet.com/matthewhickson/g6thgnxymva2pz82/wish/2466505117 2023-02-02 17:32:20 UTC https://padlet.com/matthewhickson/g6thgnxymva2pz82/wish/2466505117 Blended Learning https://padlet.com/matthewhickson/g6thgnxymva2pz82/wish/2466505896 Blended learning allows for a lot of customization --students can adjust the speed of the video, go back and re-watch, pause at any time, take direct instruction with them to a setting that works better for them, etc. ]]> 2023-02-02 17:33:01 UTC https://padlet.com/matthewhickson/g6thgnxymva2pz82/wish/2466505896 Khan academy has videos, transcripts for the videos, articles with examples, as well as practice problems. I use this for math but they have other content areas as well. It's awesome and such a great resource to use with students without having to make any of the resources yourself! https://padlet.com/matthewhickson/g6thgnxymva2pz82/wish/2466506593 2023-02-02 17:33:35 UTC https://padlet.com/matthewhickson/g6thgnxymva2pz82/wish/2466506593 Culturally Responsive Teaching Connection matthewhickson https://padlet.com/matthewhickson/g6thgnxymva2pz82/wish/2466507787 Blended tools allow students to express their learning in many different methods, this can allow their interests and backgrounds to come through. It allows the educator to view their products as a place to acquire cultural knowledge. ]]> 2023-02-02 17:34:27 UTC https://padlet.com/matthewhickson/g6thgnxymva2pz82/wish/2466507787 Scaffolds matthewhickson https://padlet.com/matthewhickson/g6thgnxymva2pz82/wish/2466511498 Students will need scaffolds to develop "expert learner" skills.

Teachers can always switch up the classification of certain lessons or tasks so that students can decide if it is something that will be beneficial to their own learning]]> 2023-02-02 17:37:10 UTC https://padlet.com/matthewhickson/g6thgnxymva2pz82/wish/2466511639
