Using Universal Design for Learning: Successful Transition Models for Educators Working with Youth with Learning Disabilities

Using Universal Design for Learning: Successful Transition Models for Educators Working with Youth with Learning Disabilities | UDL - Universal Design for Learning | Scoop.it

This excellent brief includes evidenced-based instructional strategies to engage students with learning disabilities.  Consider sharing this with teachers across all content areas.

 

"This InfoBrief identifies and explains selected classroom-based strategies within the Universal Design for Learning (UDL) model. General and special educators can implement the following strategies to engage students with disabilities (particularly those with learning disabilities) in order to prepare students to transition from secondary to post-secondary and workplace settings. The aim of this brief is to provide teachers with background knowledge and skills so that they can integrate evidence-based practices into the classroom to aid student learning."

 

"Universal Design for Learning (UDL) promotes a framework to make course instruction, materials, and content accessible and engaging for students of all learning styles. Incorporating UDL into the general education curriculum means offering multiple, flexible ways for students to receive information and demonstrate their skills. These strategies provide both physical and cognitive access to the curriculum while maintaining high achievement standards for all students".

Smartboards, lap-tops and new methods made the difference in two elementary schools in a UDL project introduced by SET BC (Special Education Technology) in 2007/08.  Here is just a small glimpse of the remarkable results with students at these schools.

 

"Principals Lisa Salloum of Birchland elementary and Anita Strang of Panorama Heights elementary told School District 43 trustees that reading levels for learning disabled students doubled the first year after a Universal Designs for Learning project was introduced in 2007/’08 and tripled the following year."
