14. UDL - Multiple Means of Representation

Tune into part 2 of this three-part series where I discuss UDL guidelines and align them with instructional practices and EdTech options that facilitate the integration of each of the guidelines. In this episode we discuss the principle of multiple means of representation or the “what” of learning. This includes the guidelines of perception, language and symbols, and building knowledge. During the discussion of building knowledge, I reference Project Zero’s Thinking Routines [https://pz.harvard.edu/thinking-routines] from Harvard’s Graduate School of Education. Take a look at these wonderful instructional moves that will help your students build knowledge and make meaning of new information! This is a public episode.

13. UDL - Multiple Means of Engagement

This episode is part 1 of a 3-part series that will break down and dive into each of the principles of the UDL Guidelines: Multiple Means of Engagement, Multiple Means of Representation, and Multiple Means of Action & Expression. Multiple Means of Engagement is described as the why of learning connecting directly to the Affective domain. This principle focuses on understanding your students and their passions to make connections to what is relevant and motivating to them. Offering them choices that allow your standards and instruction to boost motivation and provide students the skills needed to move forward through productive struggle to provide the opportunities for deeper learning.
