FCSS/Kern CCIL Team News!

Our conversations have deepened my understanding and continue to inspire me. And I have no doubt that you are already using our collective learning to remove barriers to learning for learners of all sizes...

Below you will find the September edition news for each of the levels of support provided by our CCIL grant:

• Intensive (COE Resources) - A complication of our collective learning and next steps.
• Targeted (Schoolwide Resources) - Our next step is to complete this availability document
• Universal (Statewide Resources) - September's statewide resources with the four ways to engage on the topic of Mindset.

Here are a few action Items:

• ASAP - Please identify your availability (note if you are not available)
• When you have a second - Please create an account in Learning Designed - this platform houses UDL resources AND the UDL Credential Assessments our team will be pursuing. (Here is a sneak preview of the Level 1 Credential registration process.)
  
• When you have 5-15+ minutes: Please become well-versed on the statewide resources and consider how they might be leveraged. Also, we'd love your feedback.
• Before Day 4: Select a PL slide deck you'd like to examine through the lens of UDL

I thank you in advance for your time.

Respectfully,
Elisa

Intro to UDL Day 1: UDL Foundational Concepts

• Barriers are in the design, not the learner.
• Variability is the norm. It is contextual. It can be planned for.
• The goal of UDL is expert learning.

Intro to UDL Day 2: UDL Design Process

• Set clear, rigorous goals
• Anticipate variability (video, 0:53)
• Design options to minimize barriers

Intro to UDL Day 3: The Networks - We examined examples of multiple means of engagement, representation and action & expression. Thank you to Meagan, Erin and Stacy!!

Intro to UDL Day 3ish: A Deeper Dive into the Networks - To remove barriers to learning, we design learning experiences that provide multiple means of:

• Engagement - resulting in purposeful and motivated learners
• Representation - resulting in resourceful, knowledgeable learners
• Action & Expression - resulting in strategic, goal-directed learners

Multiple Representations of the UDL Guidelines:

• UDL Guidelines v. 2.2 with numbers

• UDL Guidelines v. 2.2 without numbers
• UDL Guidelines v. 2.2 without checkpoints

Here is a little bit of homework before our next session:

• Please complete this availability document
• Please have a PL slide deck draft for our work on Day 4. If you don't have one available, no worries, I will have other options for you!

We are so close!! Let's get our availability hammered out and we can get this show on the road! :)

Please complete this availability form. (Same one mentioned above... )Thank you! :)

The statewide CCIL team created this newsletter which offers four ways to engage in resources supporting this month's theme, Mindset. The intent is for educators to leverage these monthly resources in support of inclusive literacy practices, regardless of their role. Feel free to share as you deem appropriate. The four ways to engage are:

• Got A Minute? Learning Series
• Learning Design Highlighted Feature
  
• Top Tips! for Mindset
• Webinar Learning Series
  
  

Shamryn, Becky, Elise, Wyatt and I would love your feedback!
