Session+09


 * Objectives:**
 * Taking stock: strategy instruction in content-area learning as well as literacy learning
 * How can you use these strategies/studies to further your understanding and creation of UDL?
 * Review your understanding of UDL with KWL
 * Construct a more sophisticated chart/concept web about UDL implementation


 * Key guiding questions:**
 * 1) What is the role of cognitive organizers in the creation of UDL learning environments for all students?
 * 2) How can cognitive organizers be implemented in such a way that meets the needs of all learners?
 * 3) What research evidences support the use of cognitive organizers?
 * 4) What are core components of effective strategy instruction for content learning?
 * 5) What implications does the article titled "Improving content-area instruction using evidence-based practices" have for important classroom-based assessment tools teachers can use to implement advanced instructional practices effectively for students with mild disabilities in inclusive classrooms?
 * 6) What learning theories does the Guided Inquiry Supporting Multiple Literacies (GIsML) remind you of?
 * 7) The GIsML article made a few important points or claims that are relevant to the creation of UDL learning environments. Please share your findings and interpretations of the relevance of the article for UDL.


 * Technology: Inspiration Software**
 * **KWL on UDL**
 * What do you already know about UDL?
 * What do you want to know about UDL? Or, what do you want to have answered? Questions?
 * What are you Learning or have learned about UDL? What questions are answered?
 * **Concept mapping (with Inspiration 8)**
 * Construct a brainstorm web on the readings for today (Content-area learning); Include these elements:
 * Strategies/methods that can contribute to implementation of UDL
 * Continue to build a class web based on the last web you’ve built)
 * Save the web and insert it on your individual page on Wikispaces


 * Example of UDL Implementation**
