Discuss, with specific examples, how UDL could influence instructional practice.

/in /by

Many districts use Response to Intervention (RTI) programs and multi-tier system of support (MTSS) to establish programs that meet many different needs in one setting. Teachers must learn about evidenced-based practices to make decisions about instruction.

Universal Design for Learning (UDL) is a framework to guide evidence-based instructional delivery and practices. Data from tiered support systems such as RTI and MTSS help to steer the UDL framework.

After reading the Universal Design in Education tutorial, and conducting research on UDL, compose a 100-150 word short answer response to each of the following prompts:

  1. Explain how applying UDL principles in the educational setting responds to the needs of all students, including students with disabilities. Describe the UDL guidelines of engagement, representation, action, and expression.
  2. Describe three specific UDL instructional approaches or adaptations that teachers may utilize to enhance the success of students with and without disabilities.
  3. Discuss, with specific examples, how UDL could influence instructional practice.

Support your findings with a minimum of three scholarly resources.

Take A Stand

/in /by

Take a Stand

Education was a priority for the founding fathers. Dr. Benjamin Rush, unlike his peers, was an advocate for education that included both females and blacks. He founded one of the first female academies in the United States, the Young Ladies Academy of Philadelphia. Although he was a believer in women being educated, his reasoning for the importance of education was that it would make women more subservient to men.

In a one- to two-page APA-formatted paper, refer to your text and then “take a stand.” You will either defend Rush’s position for creating the curriculum he implemented (a few of the subjects taught: general knowledge of bookkeeping, vocal music and dance, and moral philosophy) or discredit his stance and explain how women would be better off with or without this specific education. List at least three reasons to support your opinion.

Your finished paper must include a title page and a reference page formatted in APA 6th-edition style. It should include a minimum of one source in addition to your textbook and should not exceed two pages (not including title and reference pages).

“Empowered Learners” Please respond to the following:

  • From the first e-Activity, the increasing Web-based content has exerted more pressure on policymakers and legislators in the U.S. Congress to enact new copyright laws to govern and organize electronic course material.
