  34. A.M. Team Specific UDL Conversations

  35. Group discussion - 30 minutes • Move through the following 7 prompts. • What I know about the topic area • What confuses me or I don’t know about the topic area • Up to this point, what has been the role of the technology department when it comes to UDL? • Who is “in charge” of overseeing the implementation of UDL in our intermediary/region/district (choose the appropriate grouping for your table) • How I know I’m supporting teachers so they can apply the principles of UDL • What barriers I believe will appear An Instructional Framework for School-Based Teams

  36. Insights - 10 minutes • As a group, identify three major insights or “ah-has” about UDL that you gleaned from this group’s discussion. • Enter these insights on your groups’ document. If the insights are unanswered questions, discuss these questions or request support from one of the facilitators so the insights become statements. • You should end this step with three insights specifically about the application of UDL in the classroom. An Instructional Framework for School-Based Teams

  37. Applying the findings - 10 minutes • As a group, consider how the three major insights apply to what is and what is not happening in your intermediaries/districts/schools (choose appropriate grouping) and why. • Write these down with your insights. An Instructional Framework for School-Based Teams

  38. Digging deeper - 8 minutes • Each person will use one piece of paper per insight (three pieces of paper total) using the sheets provided with the following box: • Write one insight in the top left box. In the top right box, write down two to three implementation barriers specific to you. Repeat this step for each insight. An Instructional Framework for School-Based Teams

  39. Identifying solutions - 12 minutes • In pairs, discuss those three barriers and identify a potential solution for each barrier. Write those solutions in the lower left hand box. • Save this paper for this afternoon. An Instructional Framework for School-Based Teams
