KNOWLEDGE-SKILLS-MINDSET
Knowledge:
- Teachers understand the concept of multiple means of action and expression and the many ways students can interact in the classroom and express their knowledge.
- Teachers can create strong lesson plans with student choice of expression built-in at each point in the lesson plan.
- Teachers can confidently plan for multiple means of action and expression without knowing all students in their classroom.
- UDL is a critical pedagogy to create universal access to students with identified with disabilities and ALL learners.
- Student learning preferences and profiles are jagged; the idea of an “average learner” does not exist. Therefore, lesson plans that do not offer choice in multiple modalities are not reaching all learners.
- Learners vary greatly in the ways they interact with a learning environment and express what they’ve learned.
