Universal Design for Learning and CAST  (Center for Applied Special Technology)

 

 

"Universal Design for Learning (UDL) is a framework for designing curricula that enable all individuals to gain knowledge, skills, and enthusiasm for learning. UDL provides rich supports for learning and reduces barriers to the curriculum while maintaining high achievement standards for all." (CAST)  

 

Universal Design for Learning calls for ... 

Multiple means of representation, to give learners various ways of acquiring information and knowledge, 

Multiple means of expression, to provide learners alternatives for demonstrating what they know, 

Multiple means of engagement, to tap into learners' interests, offer appropriate challenges, and increase motivation.

 Ira Socol's Toolbelt Theory  (essential reading!)

 

"Toolbelt Theory" is based around the idea that as humans we are tool users, and that we choose tools most effectively when that choice begins with the Task at hand, and then considers the Environment in which that task must be performed, the Skill set of the individual (the tool chooser), and the Tools which are available (Thus the acronyn TEST). --Ira Socol
