Affective Brain Network
From It6740 Udl
The Affective Brain Network (AN) for shorthand) is the third network discussed in UDL. It is used to attach emotional significance to patterns, content, and assignments. In this way, people can become engaged in learning by establishing preferences to different ways of approaching learning. The AN answers the question, "Why?" Why should I learn?
The AN also deals with fear or anger. The teacher would ask, "How do I make my students comfortable, yet motivated? I know that some of my students will freeze because the information looks daunting. Others may be angry because they don't like the assigments or see the need. What do I do?
Your task is to further define the AN and its role in UDL, learning, and teaching. What strategies and tools can be used to increase comfort, safety, and motivation?
