The blog post linked here provides examples of science lessons that have had a UDL "makeover" which can be helpful when making your own lessons more accessible. The authors provide four key takeaways - provide goals before lessons, make connections to prior knowledge, remind students of different strategies that are available to them, and encourage active engagement. ]]> 2023-06-14 16:56:07 UTC https://padlet.com/greenva/pmt8g8tzqkewnjjq/wish/2623626234 greenva https://padlet.com/greenva/pmt8g8tzqkewnjjq/wish/2623633232 https://www.nsta.org/science-teacher/science-teacher-julyaugust-2022/udl-solutions-common-science-barriers 

The NSTA article linked provides a helpful guide for and examples of how the three components of UDL (multiple means of engagement, multiple means of representation, and multiple means of action and expression) can be purposefully used in science classrooms to address common barriers. ]]> 2023-06-14 17:06:00 UTC https://padlet.com/greenva/pmt8g8tzqkewnjjq/wish/2623633232 greenva https://padlet.com/greenva/pmt8g8tzqkewnjjq/wish/2623639893 https://www.cast.org/resources/online-tools

The article linked above is about a UDL professional development series that resulted in increased UDL understandings in educators and implementation of NGSS instructional standards. This study implies a few things - that UDL is helpful in NGSS classrooms, and that UDL approaches can be appropriately introduced and implemented with a purposeful PD plan. ]]> 2023-06-14 17:23:16 UTC https://padlet.com/greenva/pmt8g8tzqkewnjjq/wish/2623645514 greenva https://padlet.com/greenva/pmt8g8tzqkewnjjq/wish/2623646403 UDL - Universal Design for Learning
