Chapter 2 – “What Brain Research Tells us About Learner Differences”
1. They differ on the values with which they evaluate their environment.
Chapter 3 – “Why We Need Flexible Instructional Media”
1. because the medium that you choose to use can still contain the same information but it can be displayed in various manners and engage kids in the ways that they need to stay focused and interested.
Chaper 4 – “What is Universal Design for Learning” -
1. Have a varied means of assessment. You want to make sure that you are assessing students to make sure you know where they are really at and accounting for the level at which they are performing. Don’t ask a child with dyslexia to read the problems on a math test, b/c you will not be able to tell if they are having a problem reading or a problem with the math.
Chapter 5 approaches goals – using UDL to set clear goals
1.Multiple ways for students to achieve the goals and have the students be aware of what is needed to achieve the goal so know what you are looking for.
Chapter 6 – materials and methods for reaching goals
1.Not all children come to school with the same background knowledge and it is important to provide and support that. It will help to bring students together and understand the information being presented in a lesson.
Chapter 7 – focuses on assessment
1. We need to incorporate new media and be sure that our assessment is accurate and reflect the differences in the students.
Chapter 8 – “Making Universal Design for Learning a Reality.”
1. there is no perfect example of UDL, but should still conisder areas in the school that couild benefit (technology, teachers, and parents). consider alternatives!!
