Week 9 Frameworks for Educating All Learners

These flashcards cover critical vocabulary related to frameworks for educating learners, focusing on definitions and key concepts from the lecture notes.

Research-based practices

Includes instructional strategies, interventions, and methodologies that are supported by evidence to improve learner outcomes.

Universal Design for Learning (UDL)

A framework that provides flexibility in instruction to ensure all learners can access and participate in learning opportunities.

Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports (PBIS)

A framework that provides targeted supports to improve student behavior and create a positive learning environment.

Response to Intervention (RTI)

A multi-tiered approach to identifying and supporting students with learning and behavior needs.

Neural Networks for Learning

Refers to the brain's systems: affective (emotions), strategic (planning and execution), and recognition (sensing patterns and meanings).

Multi-Tiered Systems of Support (MTSS)

A conceptual framework aimed at providing varying levels of support to meet the needs of all learners based on data-driven decision making.

Data-based decision making

Using data to identify educational needs and to inform the instructional strategies for students.

Evidence-based practices (EBPs)

Instructional methodologies that have been proven effective through rigorous research.

Curricular/Instructional methodology

Methods and strategies designed to convey curriculum effectively and accommodate diverse learning needs.

Functional Behavior Analysis (FBA)

An assessment that identifies the reasons behind problematic behavior to inform interventions.

Executive Function Support

Strategies aimed at improving a student’s ability to plan, focus attention, remember instructions, and juggle multiple tasks.

Learner Variability

The individual differences in strengths, support needs, experiences, and preferences of each student.
