Wh • The Florida Diagnostic & Learning Resources System (FDLRS) provides diagnostic, instructional, and technology support services to district exceptional education programs and families of students with disabilities. Service centers include 19 centers that directly serve school districts in the areas of Child Find, Parent Services, Human Resource Development (HRD), and Technology. www.fdlrs.org There is no formula or recipe that works for all learners in all times. There is no set of lesson plans or units that can engage the range of learning styles, approaches, and intelligences that are likely to gather in one classroom.

12/10/18 UDL Now! By Katie Novak Every Student Succeeds Act “UDL is referenced numerous times throughout the ESSA bill, and states are encouraged to design assessments using UDL principles, to award grants to local education agencies who use UDL, and to adopt technology that aligns with UDL.” The Dinner Party Analogy 4

12/10/18 • UDL offers students a “buffet” of options. The options are offered by the teacher but they aren’t individualized for specific students. Through the UDL framework, students are intended to become self-directed learners and choose the options that work best for them, not the other way around. With UDL, students learn to take responsibility for their learning. UDL is effective by intentional design, not happenstance or luck. 6

12/10/18 UDL Defined • The term UNIVERSAL DESIGN FOR LEARNING means a scientifically valid framework for guiding educational practice that: (A) provides flexibility in the ways information is presented, in the ways students respond or demonstrate knowledge and skills, and in the ways students are engaged ; and (B) reduces barriers in instruction, provides appropriate accommodations, supports, and challenges, and maintains high achievement expectations for all students, including students with disabilities and students who are limited English proficient. 7

12/10/18 Why Multiple Means of Representation are so vital… • Conceptual understanding of mathematics is enhanced when learners have the opportunity to explore and manipulate representations (Eisenhart et al., 1993; Moreno & Mayer, 1999; Moyer, Niezgoda, & Stanley, 2005). • Without a solid understanding of mathematical concepts, mathematics becomes a series of rote procedures (Ginsberg, 1997; Rittle-Johnson, Siegler, & Alibali, 2001; Wood & Sellers, 1997).

Mimi Staulters, Ph. D. Widener University mlstaulters@mail.widener.edu Why Multiple Means of Expression are so vital… • In order to be an effective learner and problem- solver it is essential that basic skills and procedures become routine or automatic, allowing the learner to put more attention and effort into applying conceptual knowledge (Gersten & Chard, 1999; Hiebert & Lefevre, 1986; Jordan et al., 2003). • Students also need to know how to select appropriate strategies and to organize information effectively in order to solve complex problems (Jitendra, DiPipi, & Perron-Jones, 2002; Siegler, 2003). 11

Examples: If 6 × 4 = 24 is known, then 4 × 6 = 24 is also known. (Commutative property of multiplication.) 3 × 5 × 2 can be found by 3 × 5 MAFS.3.OA.2.5 = 15, then 15 × 2 = 30, or by 5 × 2 = 10, then 3 × 10 = 30. (Associative property of multiplication.) Knowing that 8 × 5 = 40 and 8 × 2 = 16, one can find 8 × 7 as 8 × (5 + 2) = (8 × 5) + (8 × 2) = 40 + 16 = 56.

Mimi Staulters, Ph. D. Widener University mlstaulters@mail.widener.edu Wh Why does Engage gement Matter? • Students demonstrate greater difficulty comprehending material that is unrelated to their personal life experiences (Bottge & Hasselbring, 1993). • Context that is not understood cannot easily be transformed to meaningful numerical sentences; appropriate operations and procedures are less likely to be selected (Davis-Dorsey, Ross, & Morrison, 1991). • Students are less likely to persevere on problems that are irrelevant or uninteresting (Murphy & Ross, 1990).
