Assessment Description
Differentiating
instruction to meet the needs of all students in the classroom should
be part of every teacher’s instructional strategy. There are many
techniques that can be used to modify instruction and accommodate for
students’ needs, and knowledge about evidence-based practices for doing
so should be used when making decisions about instruction. The use of
Response to Intervention (RTI) programs and a multitier system of
support (MTSS) to establish programs that meet the varied needs of
students in one setting are commonly used strategies for
differentiation. Additionally, Universal Design for Learning (UDL) is a
framework to guide these types of evidence-based instructional
deliveries and practices. Data from tiered support systems such as RTI
and MTSS can be used to steer the UDL framework.
Imagine that you
have been asked to create an informational digital presentation about
Universal Design for Learning approaches that can be used by special
education and general education teachers in the grade levels associated
with your field of study.
Refer to “The UDL Guidelines,” the
topic Resources, and your research to create an 8-10 slide digital
presentation that addresses the following:
Explain how
applying UDL principles in the educational setting can address the needs
of all students, including students with disabilities.
Describe the UDL guidelines of engagement, representation, action, and expression.
Describe
three specific, evidence-based UDL instructional approaches or
adaptations that teachers could utilize to enhance the success and
promote the growth and development of students with and without
disabilities.
Discuss how UDL and the use of evidence-based
strategies can influence and be used to improve professional practice
and student outcomes. Provide specific examples to illustrate your
ideas.
Provide links to five additional resources related to UDL
statistics and approaches and describe how each would be beneficial to
teachers as they implement the UDL framework.
Title slide, reference slide, and presenter’s notes.
Support your presentation with a minimum of three scholarly resources.
Refer
to “Creating Effective PowerPoint Presentations,” located in the
Student Success Center, for additional guidance on completing this
assignment in the appropriate style.
While APA format is not
required for the body of this assignment, solid academic writing is
expected, and in-text citations and references should be presented using
APA documentation guidelines, which can be found in the APA Style
Guide, located in the Student Success enter.
This assignment uses a
rubric. Review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment to become
familiar with the expectations for successful completion.
Additional note from instructor:
This week’s assignment is Intervention Strategies Digital Brochure.
This assignment is a Tri-fold brochure. Best way to do this is download a
template from Word. Do not download a template that has many designs on
it. You need the space. The brochure should not be covered in graphics
and such. It should be clean and only two pages. If you go over two
pages you have to much information.
a. I provided a template
where you can see what information should be where in the brochure. Do
not lose points over the design. Use the KISS method and follow the
example I posted.
b. Remember that you have to cite your
resources on the back center panel AND you need in text citations
because all your strategies you put in this assignment are to be
researched based.
