Top ten list for writing goals the UDL Way!
1. Clearly defined. 2. Focus on the lesson purpose, not just the activity. 3. Include specific, definitive actions. 4. Determine if the goal is flexible or constricted, if constricted provide scaffolding. 5. Keep assessments in mind. (Formative and summative). 6. Make the goals meaningful. So the students will become more engaged. 7. SMART- Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Result Oriented, and Time Bound. 8. Overarching (4-5 weeks). 9. Provide multiple ways to achieve the goal. 10. Recognize barriers. (Ralabate) 2. How does a taking a variability perspective impact your lesson planning? Taking a variability perspective impacts my lesson planning in many ways. All learners have different styles or preferences even though the process is the same. Because all learners differ in their styles it is important to understand the three key brain networks in learning, and their roles. On page 53 in Ralabate’s book the three networks were described. The affective networks help learners to initiate actions and respond based on how they feel about what they perceive. The recognition networks control how the information is perceived, which is influenced by context. And lastly, the strategic networks plan, organize, initiate, sequence coordinate and monitor purposeful actions. By having knowledge of these brain networks, and their roles in learning it will help to provide an environment that will hold all students to a high standard and give them the support to reach their fullest potential. Taking a further look into each network according to Patti Ralabate, the affective network, is applying the principle of engagement. This means that when preparing lessons I will need to keep in mind to provide options for self-regulation such as developing self-assessment and reflection. With the recognition network, providing multiple means of representation. Such as providing options for language, mathematical expressions and symbols. Lastly, strategic networks, providing multiple means of action and expression. With my lessons I will need to remember to have options for physical actions. This can be optimizing access to tools and assistive technologies.
