UDL & the Learning Brain

Task Differentation

So a UDL learning framework relies on a variety of ways for students to learn. 

The concept of neuro-variability is important for educators, because it reminds us that learners do not have an isolated learning “style”, but instead rely on many parts of the brain working together to function within a given context. There is no single way a brain will perceive, engage with, or execute a task. Variability is not just an important consideration for thinking about differences between students, but also within students in different contexts.

The Importance of PK

Previous experiences drive our interest and engagement, perception and attention, and goals and actions. The nervous system constantly makes predictions and anticipates how we will fare in a particular environment or towards a particular goal.

The Importance of WALT WILF and SUCCESS CRITERIA

Goals drive the nervous system. Essential to any learning experience is a clear goal. A clear goal enables the nervous system to direct energy purposefully to build relevance, perceive information, and act strategically. Ultimately, educators and learners need to be aware of the intended learning goals so that they can begin to build connections, connect to background knowledge, and practice for expertise. 

AFL (Assessment for Learning)

Link from UDL and the brain,  Frequent, formative feedback and opportunities for active learning create and strengthen the connections within our learning brains. Our brains are not fixed, but grow and change with use.
