How can educators identify and address potential barriers when designing instruction?
Next week, Mr. Schlotzsky will begin a chapter on colonial America. First, the students will take their textbooks home and read the chapter for homework. Then, Mr. Schlotzsky will lecture, write notes on the whiteboard, and give his students handouts. To assess their knowledge, he will ask his students to use the Internet to research colonial America in greater depth and to give an oral presentation.
Goal: Students will read the textbook chapter, listen and take notes in class, conduct research, and give an oral presentation. Help Mr. Schlotzsky evaluate the components of his instruction and remove barriers that may create roadblocks to students’ learning.
Rewrite the goal so that it adheres to the notion of “clear goals, multiple means.”
List the elements Mr. Schlotzsky is using for each component of instructional elements (e.g., lecture, oral presentation).
List barriers for each instructional element.
Suggest ways Mr. Schlotzsky can remove these barriers.
Imagine you are a colleague of Mr. Schlotzsky and you have been incorporating UDL principles into your learning experiences for several years. To help him transition into incorporating these principles, what small change would you suggest he do first to get started? Explain why you would recommend this.
