Why begin with this exercise?
Goal driven
20@CAST_UDL | #UDL (C) CAST 2014
UDL Core concept #1:Clarify goals
Many goals: CCSS, district, lesson, department, WIDA…
• Share goals clearly, all understand
• Consider flexible means to reach goal (UDL)
@CAST_UDL | #UDL (C) CAST 2014 21
@CAST_UDL | #UDL (C) CAST 2014 22
Clear goals matter
UDL Core Concept #2: Variability
Old view of learning:
@CAST_UDL | #UDL (C) CAST 2014 23
@CAST_UDL | #UDL (C) CAST 2014 24
Variability
@CAST_UDL | #UDL (C) CAST 2014
UDL key concept #3: Context matters
@CAST_UDL | #UDL (C) CAST 2014 26
Context matters- at many levels
@CAST_UDL | #UDL (C) CAST 2014 27
UDL: Goal, Variability, Context (design)
@CAST_UDL | #UDL (C) CAST 2014 28
Elbow buddy discussion
• What resonated?
• Discuss how the goal, variability & context relate to either the shoe or Rubick’s cube.
Questions: 3 key concepts to UDL framework
Goals, Variability, Context

Building Background:
Started ‘in the margins’
@CAST_UDL | #UDL (C) CAST 2014 32
Inspired by Universal Design
… “all new environments and products, to the greatest extent possible, should be
usable by everyone regardless of their age, ability, or circumstance.”
@CAST_UDL | #UDL (C) CAST 2014 33
Goal. Variability. Design
@CAST_UDL | #UDL (C) CAST 2014 34
Goal. Variability. Context (design). For all.
@CAST_UDL | #UDL (C) CAST 2014 35
Choose one design & discuss: How does the design help many reach the goal?

Morning Summary
In your words, what is the UDL framework?
(write, draw, tweet, build, discuss…)
UDL…• Designs for variability
• Changes the curriculum (context)--not the student
• Clear goal, flexible means
38@CAST_UDL | #UDL (C) CAST 2014
UDL…
A mindset for designing learning experiences
• All individuals can gain knowledge, skills, and enthusiasm for learning
• reduces barriers to the curriculum while maintaining high goals for all

• Strategic Network: the “how”– Multiple means of action and expression
• Affective Network: the “why” – Multiple means of engagement
