The first 250 guests registered will receive a copy of Paula Kluth's book, Universal Design Daily: 365 Ways to Teach, Support, and Challenge All Learners Using UDL.
Get 365 ideas in this easy-to-use guide. In these pages, you will find classroom games, collaborative activities, engagement strategies, teaching and tech tips, and more. This teacher-friendly guide was created to help educators learn more about universal design by exploring the practices associated with it. The book features:
dozens of ideas for providing multiple methods of engagement (e.g., creating personalized learning plans, using movement/brain breaks, engaging in community building, making “moments”)
innovative ways to encourage multiple methods of action and expression (e.g., providing assessment choices, encouraging doodling, introducing assistive technology)
unique suggestions for using multiple methods of representation (e.g., teaching with powerful visuals, introducing films and podcasts, creating costumes)
suggestions to help teachers and teams “set up” for universally-designed curriculum, instruction, and learning environments
All of the teaching ideas are organized around CAST’s Universal Design for Learning (UDL) principles. There are ideas for every single guideline and checkpoint. It includes new material including several suggestions for virtual classrooms and e-learning.
A special thanks goes to Audio Enhancement for sponsoring the book give-away.
