This document discusses Universal Design for Learning (UDL), a framework for instruction based on scientific findings about how people learn. UDL aims to reduce barriers and provide flexibility in how information is presented, how students demonstrate knowledge, and how students are engaged. It is based on research showing there are three networks in the brain related to learning. UDL principles call for presenting information in multiple ways, allowing for flexible methods of expression, and providing multiple ways to engage learners. Technology supports UDL by enabling flexible presentation, expression, and engagement. The document provides examples of UDL and resources from the Center for Applied Special Technology. It concludes by discussing how UDL could impact a school district by reducing achievement gaps and improving outcomes for all

CFPB's public data platform and the academic research communityDesiree Zamora Garcia
A talk given in 2013 at the CFPB. Getting data and sharing data is a pain. What does the workflow look like now, and what *could* it look like with the help of CFPB's public data platform?
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

How to Create Map Views in the Odoo 17 ERPCeline George
The map views are useful for providing a geographical representation of data. They allow users to visualize and analyze the data in a more intuitive manner.
We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

1. Universal Design For
Learning
(UDL)

2. UDL?
UDL is a framework for educational
practice based on scientific findings
UDL provides flexibility in presenting
information, engaging students, and
demonstrating knowledge and reduces
barriers to instruction
(EnAct, 2012)
3. Inspiration for UDL
UDL is an extension of an architectural
movement called Universal Design (UD)
– Goal of UD is to build structures that
accommodate all users
(Colorado State University, 2012)
5. UD UDL
Just as buildings are constructed to meet
the needs of all users, instruction must be
planned to meet the needs of all learners.
6. Learning Differences
Brain research shows 3 distinct networks
related to learning
Recognition Strategic Affective
(Laureate Education, Inc., 2010)
7. Recognition Network
The “what” of learning
Processes patterns
– recognizes sensory information and matches it
to knowledge
8. Strategic Network
The “how” of learning
Processes actions and plans what to do
and when to do it
9. Affective Network
The “why” of learning
Attaches emotional significance to objects
and actions
10. Effects on Learning?
Brain research proves each individual is
unique
– 3 brain networks will work differently in each
student
Therefore, the needs, preferences, and
learning styles of each individual must be
noted
11. UDL and Diversity
Culture, Ethnicity, Language
– these factors can effect student background
knowledge, outlook, and motivation
Following UDL principles will help to meet
the needs of all learners by addressing
differences on an individual level
12. Principles of UDL
Principle 1:
Provide multiple means of presenting or
representing information
– Make curriculum adjustable so it can adapt to
the needs of diverse learners
13. Examples
Provide multiple examples of information
– text, images, sound, video
Highlight critical features
– animations, color highlighting, graphics
(Rose & Meyer, 2002)
14. Principles of UDL
Principle 2:
Provide flexible methods for students to
express understanding
15. Examples
Provide flexible models of performance
– 1 on 1 work, small groups, whole class
Opportunities to practice with support
– text-to-speech, spell checkers
Use multiple media and formats
Flexible opportunities to demonstrate skills
– publish work on internet, HyperStudio, PowerPoint
(Rose & Meyer, 2002)
16. Principles of UDL
Principle 3:
Provide flexible ways for students to
engage in the learning process
– Connect students to the “why” of learning
17. Examples
Offer choices of content and tools
– online tours, Webquests, virtual simulations
CLICK HERE
Adjust levels of challenge
– learning games
Offer a choice of rewards and learning
context
(Rose & Meyer, 2002)
18. UDL and Technology
Technology makes flexibility possible
– hardware and software have built in supports,
scaffolding, challenges, and rewards
– makes modification easier
text-to-speech, speech-to-image, image-to-text
(ED.gov, 2012)
19.
20. Technology and Brain Research
Recognition Network
– technology allows for a myriad of new ways to present and
represent information
Smartboard, projector, iPad
Strategic Network
– technology allows for more choices in how to solve
problems/complete work
PowerPoint, artistic representations, text documents
Affective Network
– technology can help to better engage students with content
Webquests, online simulations
21. Center for Applied Special
Technology (CAST)
CAST offers many online tools and
resources to aid in instructing diverse
learners
22. CAST Resources
http://bookbuilder.cast.org/
– This resource allows teachers to read and
create digital books
– These digital books can be used to implement
UDL as each book can include text-to-speech,
highlighted text, and activities to complete
while reading which can all be tailored to an
individuals needs
– Digital books allow for optimal use of
technology while implementing UDL
23. CAST Resources
http://udlselfcheck.cast.org/
– The UDL Curriculum Self-Check is a teacher
resource that allows educators to easily
review their instruction and identify areas in
which options and flexibility can be included
24. CAST Resources
http://lessonbuilder.cast.org/
– This free online resource allows teachers to
easily plan lessons that are customized to
needs of a diverse student population
25. District Information
District mission statement
– “To prepare students to be post-secondary ready; To
provide a quality education where all students
develop the abilities, attitudes, and values necessary
for responsible, productive citizenship.”
Students with disabilities consistently reach
lower levels of achievement on standardized
tests
– 2009-10 45% of general education students scored
85 or higher on state US History exam compared to
20% of students with disabilities
26. Impact of UDL
Reduce discrepancies between student
groups
Improve learning of all students
– Increased motivation, participation
Increase student readiness to be
responsible, productive citizens
