session 5
Learning Goal: Using a Universal Design for Learning Framework, educators and administrators will learn to use formative data, inclusive practices, rich curriculum and support structures to develop effective instructional strategies and resources for all students to learn. Agenda
What do we include in our classrooms? What are the ‘musts’ in literacy instruction and environment? When using a UDL model you are considering a large range of learners and multiple ways of learning, engaging and demonstrating knowledge and ideas. What is missing? Circle on your chart.
1. Chart it out
2. Discuss ideas at your table
3. Share with larger group
Homework
1. Content Review: Review, download and begin to incorporate in your classroom:
a. Instructional Resources- Reading A to Z
b. Instructional Reading Resources for teaching:
High Frequency Words and Reading Group Instruction
c. Reading Centers
d. Teaching Phonics
2. Blog Assignment: Use the Graphic Organizer to reflect on Literacy and develop a plan for instruction. Describe the key elements of your approach with specific goals and environmental conditions to support literacy learning. If you are a specialist you may join a teacher team (teacher and para-educator) or think about how to incorporate literacy into your work with children and families. (All Participants will complete the Literacy Plan Graphic Organizer and submit your drafts by December 17th to Gina ([email protected]). All participants will produce an initial blog (may be done in partners but make note of it in your blog) and respond to 2 other blog entries. Responses may include: Questions, Comments, Suggestions, Resources, Agreements, Wondering...).
3. Continue to work on your assessment webs. Bring the webs (digital or in print) to our next session. You should have 6 sections for each student filled out for our December 18th session.
