Download or read book Critical Issues in Universal Design for Learning written by K. Alisa Lowrey and published by . This book was released on 2021-04-09 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite the fact that Universal Design for Learning (UDL) has been written into all major educational laws in the United States over the past two decades, there is no evidence that schools are prepared to implement this paradigm. Given the unrestrained advocacy by the major organizations promoting UDL, there has been limited attention to the difficulties of converting UDL principles into meaningful instructional design and classroom practices. The purpose of this book is to critically examine the existing research and implementation gaps associated with UDL and to move the profession beyond the simplistic introductions to UDL that have misdirected attention away from fundamental questions. Readers will explore the potential of UDL and the significant challenges that must be confronted by policymakers, administrators, parents, teachers, publishers, instructional designers, researchers, as well as teacher educators, and resolved, if the potential of UDL is to be realized.

Download or read book Universal Design for Learning UDL written by Delaware State Department. of Education, Dover and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Universal Design for Learning (UDL) emerged from the field of architectural design when federal legislation required universal access to buildings and other structures for individuals with disabilities. Architects began to design accessibility into buildings during their initial design stage rather than retrofitting standing structures. Using this architectural principle, UDL is a strategy to eliminate barriers that students may encounter to learning. Universal Design for Learning was a term coined by the Center for Accessing Special Technologies (CAST). UDL includes Universally Designed Instruction (UDI) as well as the concept of universally designed curriculum (UDC) and Universal Design in Assessment (UDA). Each of these concepts deals with the idea that education, in general, should be designed up front for access by all students, whether the curriculum, the instructional strategies, or the assessment. This document examines: (1) what UDL is and is not; (2) UDL & the link to the brain; (3) benefits of universal design; (4) UDL lessons learned; (5) implications for teachers; (6) implementation of UDL; and (7) UDL resources.

Download or read book Handbook of Research on Applying Universal Design for Learning Across Disciplines Concepts Case Studies and Practical Implementation written by Fovet, Frederic and published by IGI Global. This book was released on 2021-01-22 with total page 547 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Universal design for learning (UDL) has been hailed for over a decade as a revolutionary lens that allows campuses to shift their efforts to create inclusive environments. In recent years, UDL has gone beyond the field of disability and been explored with regards to international and indigenous students. There is now a sizable body of literature that details the benefits of implementing UDL in higher education, as well as a number of emerging studies examining the strategic challenges of developing UDL across institutions. There is, however, still a relative paucity of research discussing the transformation of instruction or assessment in concrete terms. Therefore, there is a necessity for research and information on UDL that has already been implemented in classrooms and the practical examples of what this process of transformation looks like. The Handbook of Research on Applying Universal Design for Learning Across Disciplines: Concepts, Case Studies, and Practical Implementation offers practical examples of UDL having successfully been embedded in courses within various disciplines and classroom formats, as well as across the undergraduate and graduate sectors. The chapters provide case studies and concrete examples of what the UDL reflection on practice might look like in specific faculties and departments. While highlighting UDL in areas such as educational technology, student engagement, assignment design, and inclusive education, this book is ideally intended for inservice and preservice teachers, administrators, teacher educators, higher education professors and leaders, practitioners, researchers, academicians, and students interested in the integration of UDL into strategic academic plans.

Download or read book Universal Design for Learning Conceptual Change and Teacher Education written by Elizabeth Tessier Berquist and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Across the United States, school leaders are focusing on Universal Design for Learning (UDL) as a framework for meeting the challenge of learner variability and designing high-quality, standards-based instruction (Hall, Rose & Meyer, 2012). The three studies presented in this alternate format dissertation describe and analyze the beliefs, knowledge and practices of administrators, teachers, and preservice teachers about UDL. In Administrators' Conceptions about Universal Design for Learning: An Opportunity for Conceptual Change, phenomenological research methods were used to analyze data collected from interviews with 15 administrators. Results are presented through six emerging themes based upon the beliefs and understandings of these administrators regarding UDL. In A Mixed Method Study of Teachers' Conceptions about Universal Design for Learning, teacher beliefs, knowledge and practices about UDL are examined through a mixed methods study conducted with teachers participating in a UDL professional development system. The article also presents conceptual change as a theoretical framework to assist those responsible for designing professional development relating to the implementation of Universal Design for Learning. Finally, Preservice Teachers' Conceptions about UDL reports quantitative data about the conceptions of preservice teachers in regard to UDL. This descriptive study provides insight into the underlying assumptions of the UDL framework and examines results in regard to a dissatisfaction based conceptual change model. In each study, conceptual change is presented as a theoretical framework to assist school leaders and higher education faculty as they develop an understanding for, and strategies regarding, implementation of Universal Design for Learning. The powerful nature of pre-conceptions and current conceptions and the associated alterations necessary for conceptual change about UDL are challenges for teacher educators and individuals responsible for professional development. If these beliefs are not addressed in the earliest stages of the conceptual change process, there is little chance that they will change. UDL is quickly becoming part of the fabric of our educational system; it is imperative that instruction about UDL is high-quality and relevant. The results of these studies will provide necessary insight into the beliefs, knowledge and practices of administrators, teachers, and preservice teachers, in order to recommend future instructional practices that are fundamental to changing understandings, impacting practices, and ensuring that the UDL framework is wholeheartedly adopted by educators.
