SpeEdChange: Toolbelt Theory for Everyone

A well-written and easy to read "tool" analogy that then moves on into unapologetic criticism of how we teach with concrete examples about preparing kids for life. Very high-incidence and UDL approach. Great reading for teachers who are struggling with the "what" of software, but not getting the "why."

definitions udl

“The concept of UDL is the intersection where all our initiatives—integrated units, multi-sensory teaching, multiple intelligences, differentiated instruction, use of computers in schools, performance-based assessment, and others—come together.”

Among the educational approaches UDL supports is differentiated instruction (see Tomlinson, 1999a, 1999b), wherein teachers individualize criteria for student success, teaching methods, and means of student expression while monitoring student progress through ongoing, embedded assessment. UDL is also compatible with the concepts of teachers as coaches or guides (see O’Donnell, 1998), learning as process (see Graves, 1983, 1990), cooperative learning (see Johnson & Johnson, 1989, 1999; Marr, 1997; Wood et al., 1993), and demonstrating learning in a wide variety of media (see Sizer, 1992a, 1992b, 1996). All these approaches represent aspects of a model where learners actively construct meaning and teachers participate and support learning rather than impart knowledge.

This article talks about the push to get UDL language in NCLB. Ricki Sabia is quoted and gets the same billing as Dave Rose. - bastiani on 2007-10-31

RickiSabia
one of the main drivers behind including UDL language in the reauthorized federal school law.

- people have tended to depend on the use of technology so students can access existing lessons or materials, rather than rethinking the lessons to make them more readily accessible in the first place.
- CAST itself first focused solely on creating so-called assistive technology to allow student with disabilities to work with existing lesson plans. But the center’s experts learned that making classroom materials accessible doesn’t always mean students are learning the lessons teachers are trying to impart, Mr. Rose said.
  - Apparently CAST has a shift in philosophy that seems to say that using technology to build in flexibility is not enough. - on 2007-10-31
