I am taking a graduate course and this is helping me reinforce the reading material. This is not a math class, it is a diverse Language Arts class that had a math lesson, which applied the guidelnes of the UDL. Universal design for learning (UDL) is a teaching approach that works to accommodate the needs and abilities of all learners and eliminates unnecessary hurdles in the learning process. This means developing a flexible learning environment in which information is presented in multiple ways, students engage in learning in a variety of ways, and students are provided options when demonstrating their learning. She is modeling what the students what to do and then she sets the learning activity. This is moving from modeling to guided practice so she is highlighting syntax. Making the structure of the lesson explicit is very necessary for some students, even the most of advanced students. She does a graduatl release or scaffolding she is first doing it with the students, then she is letting them do it on their own. She is checking in to see if the students are doing the work or spot checking. Also a white board is a nice tool and UDL should be applied so that students with disabilities or exceptional students or a wide range of students could go in their own pace. You have 30 students with 7 different language so she uses symbols and manipulates so that is helping her diverse class. I am a Navy vet who is an exceptional grad student and could speak four language, English, Geramn Russian, and Persian. Again this is not a math class, math is incorporated in the Language and Arts class, and math is the universal language.

This is not UDL! This is most of the class sitting bored while math is done to them

Did you watch the whole video? the students do it in groups by themselves

[@catherinebutler3029]

@@analeon6065 That is still not UDL, that's group and peer learning. In UDL, students would have choice about methods for soing the math, or independent vs group learning, or recorded lesson so they can stop and rewatch lesson. None of this is a demonstration of UDL

"A panel of UDL experts takes you inside a diverse Language Arts classroom to show master teachers applying the principles and guidelines of UDL..." NOPE, this was a MATH classroom.
