Applying Universal Design for Learning in Low Ability Math Classes
The Universal Design for learning framework, developed by CAST.org, leverages research in education and neuroscience to provide teachers with a free tool that they can use to optimize teaching and learning for all students in all subjects.
Course Outline
This training will utilize strategies from the Universal Design for Learning (UDL) framework to enhance learning in low ability math classes. We will look at dyscalculia in the brain, the natural development of the mathematical mind, and learn practical tips and strategies for developing number sense in low ability learners.
Course Objectives
Participants will be able to:
- Understand dyscalculia and related learning goals
- Familiarize themselves with the three major UDL principles
- Understand how the guidelines support children with low abilities in math
- Adapt a math lesson using UDL guidelines
- Implement incremental change using UDL
