Standard 3.2 Adaptation to diverse students

Kids around the World (Lg.)

Standard 3.2 asks that candidates who wish to teach in elementary eduction understand the differences in students development and approaches to learning, so that educators may differentiate their instruction in creative ways for diverse students. 

UDL and use of Assistive Technologies

Below you will find the downloadable links to a discussion on the use of Assistive Technologies in a UDL classroom. This discussion fulfills Standard 3.2 because it demonstrates my understanding of the use of assistive technology in an elementary school setting for students with disabilities. It is important that educators understand how to differentiate their lessons through the use of assistive technology, and understand how to use these technologies in the classroom on a regular basis to help build a UDL environment.

    "The UDL Guidelines, an articulation of the UDL framework, can assist anyone who plans lessons/units of study or develops curricula (goals, methods, materials, and assessments) to reduce barriers, as well as optimize levels of challenge and support, to meet the needs of all learners from the start." (CAST, 2011)
