In this Episode of The Education Table with Katie Novak, we’ll tackle the question, does it make sense to implement Universal Design for Learning (UDL) in the classroom when standardized tests don’t offer the same options to students? Katie will share a story, talk about some key statistics and research, and provide test-taking strategies that will help educators prepare their students for those standardized tests—without compromising accessibility.
Implementing UDL can help students perform their best on standardized tests despite the limitations of the tests themselves and in this episode we’ll equip educators with strategies for preparing students including being honest about the purpose of testing, teaching test-taking strategies, using exemplars and rubrics, practicing test-taking skills, building digital literacy skills, and understanding the psychology of multiple-choice tests, all with the end goal of empowering our students to succeed!
