Starting with the very first square on the UDL roadmap to engaging the brain (and the heart) the first two words are choice and autonomy. I am entering Unit 2 with my students, we are 2 months into this massive social experiment of Distance Learning. They have been proof that students can and are learning right now. I am very fond of them- even though I only physically see them as 1 inch squares on my computer.
Student choice has been at the forefront of my curriculum design and the results have been very positive as demonstrated by their attendance, academic outcomes, and feedback.
This unit will on the second word in the UDL guidelines for engaging the brain (and heart) concept of autonomy.
More to come….
