Task Description

UDL summarizes brain functions into three networks. The second network is Strategic. The Strategic Network (SN for shorthand) asks, "How?" How are we going to learn? What are the learning processes I will use? How will I know if my stategies are working? What alternatives are there?

Your task in this section is to further define what the SN means in UDL. Discuss the strategies and tools you can use to take advantage of or facilitate the use of the SN.


The following are the speaker's notes from slide 17 of the Overview of UDL slide show, which is the first tool in CAST's UDL Toolkits.

"The strategic networks are located in the front part of the brain and enable us to plan, execute, and monitor actions and skills. In learning situations, the strategic networks are critical. Examples of the strategic networks at work include: doing a project, taking a test, [editing a wiki], taking notes, listening to a lecture. They work in tandem with recognition networks to learn to read, compute, write, solve problems, plan and execute compositions and complete projects. Everyday examples of the strategic networks in action include cooking a meal, planning an outing, executing a golf swing, driving a car, etc."

In essence, it's the "take action" part of the brain.
