  • You can't know where you're going unless you know where you are.
  • These abilities -- recall, analysis, comparison, inference, and evaluation -- will be the skills of a literate twenty-first-century citizen. And they are the kinds of skills that aren't measured by our current high-stakes tests.
  • adding assessment vehicles such as student portfolios and presentations as additional measures of student understanding.

  • With these formative and summative types of assessment come the ability to give students immediate feedback. They also allow a teacher to immediately intervene, to change course when assessments show that a particular lesson or strategy isn't working for a student, or to offer new challenges for students who've mastered a concept or skill.

      This is a great way to incorporate technology into a mathematics course. Often, assessments tend to be forced choice, but by creating a problem-based, authentic assessments, students will be able to apply many of the 21st century skills that they will utilize after graduation.

      Having students create a Prezi (prezi.com) would be a new and exciting way for students to present the information from the project-based assessment to the class
  • I plan to survey to my tutees about their experience with the real-world problems and its affect on their learning.

      A tool that may be useful in analyzing students' perspecives of these projects is SurveyMonkey (http://www.surveymonkey.com). The surveys are easily created and the results can be formated in graphs, charts, etc. In fact, perhaps using SurveyMonkey within the class integrated into one of the authentic-assessments might be a second way to utilize this free and user-friendly learning/teaching tool.
  • real-world problems, and performance-based to see if their misunderstanding is with the concepts or the real-world application. I would use project-based to assess their understanding of larger amounts of material.

      The idea of the "one-size-fits-all approach is being changed in the pages of textbooks, but sometimes it is more difficult for teachers to make this ideological change-over in their teaching methods.

      True, but I am not convinced that the concept of UDL is really as much of a change as CAST is making it out to be. This is kind of a repackaging of ideas instead of a new idea. The concept of backwards design and Understanding By Design are all kind of the same thing. We are really just being asked to think about the end goal and how it fits everyone at the beginning. Or am I missing the point of UDL?

      I agree with you, UDL is looking at designing lesson plans and units in the same fashion that backwards lesson design does, but one difference may be that UDL looks at brain research. Granted I know little to nothing about the theory behind Backward Lesson Design, but is there a key component regarding brain research and actively engaging students using differeniated learning to activate the various neural networks? Perhaps UDL is Backwards lesson design with a splash of Howard Gardner's Multiple Intelligences and a dash of Pavio's Dual Coding System?

    Just in case there is anyone that would like to compare notes on the Universal Lesson Design information, I thought I would include the website in the list of resources.
