Designing inclusive instruction takes intentional planning and collaboration. The goal of these modules is to learn more about Universal Design for Learning (UDL), a framework developed by CAST, and how to support educators to design learning experiences that are inclusive for each and every learner.

Two of the most important questions in designing, or redesigning, learning environments
are: How does learning happen? and How can we best create environments that support
learning? While empirical research has unearthed important insights and established agreedupon
models to help answer these questions, this research base is extensive, complex, and
often not honored by the design of traditional schools. To that end, our Designing for Learning
Primer aims to summarize the essence of what’s known about how learning happens in a way
that is digestible and actionable.Two of the most important questions in designing, or redesigning, learning environments

The DREME Network was created in 2014 to advance the field of early mathematics research and improve young children’s opportunities to develop math skills. The Network focuses on math from birth through age eight years, with an emphasis on the preschool years. Network members and affiliates collaborate to conduct basic and applied research and develop innovative tools that address high-priority early math topics and inform and motivate other researchers, educators, policymakers and the public.

Technology can be something that has been created to help make things easier.  Technology can also be a robot that helps manufacture vehicles.  Look around the environment and discuss how this technology can affect the way people live, work, travel, communicate, or play.  

Each activity download has a list of contents with a brief description of each of the items, a lesson plan for the science night planner, and table top documents for the night of the event.These could be easily adapted to use in the classroom for preschoolers.

Children will act out the story by copying the actions the little girl has done while wearing different shoes  to help demonstrate the beginning, middle, and end of the story.

El documento para edades de 3 a 5 años es para brindar a los administradores, profesionales de la primera infancia y familias de estudiantes en edad preescolar orientación y recursos con respecto a los estándares y metas apropiados para el desarrollo de niños pequeños y estudiantes.

The Early Math Project promotes awareness of the importance of math in early education (birth to age eight), provides tools to parents and educators, and collaborates with agencies and organizations working to advance mathematical learning.They also offer an annual Early Math Symposium annually. You can view past symposium recordings, and register for future symposiums here.

This is a lesson for preschool students. In this lesson, students will learn about the importance of eating healthy and how to make good food choices. They will learn about the five food groups and be able to categorize food into the correct food groups. This lesson follows the following core standards: Strand 4: Nutritions- Students will understand why food choices are important, Standard HE 4.1 Identify a variety of healthy foods, Standard HE 4.2-Identify healthy food and begin to categorize into food groups, Standard 4.3  Try new foods from a variety of food groups.Image Citation: food healthy flyer landscape by yellow bananas from Canva created by Suzanne McMillan

The best practices in this document were included as part of USBE's 2023 summer professional learning sessions of the new English Language Arts standards. Additional resource links have been included in some instances to provide additional information.

Deepen your understanding in the English Language Arts standards by reading research on developmentally appropriate practice.This module will include ideas of how you can implement these standards into your daily lessons, and allows you to learn at your own pace.
