Zone of Proximal Development
Jimmy is a 3 year old student who has lots of energy but gets distracted very easily. He loves to play with toy cars and pretend that he is a racecar driver. You are trying to work on the movement concept of low and high with him, but he keeps running through the station without doing the activity.
How would you use UDL to help create an environment where the Jimmy can learn. Use all three principles when coming up with a solution.
Multiple Means of Engagement (Why):
-Turn the activity into a “race track” game using Jimmy’s interest in cars.
-Let him choose whether to go high over the ramp or low under the tunnel first.
-Keep the activity active and playful to match his energy level.
Multiple Means of Representation (What):
-Use picture cards showing high and low.
-Model the movements with your body (reach up high, crouch down low).
-Use gestures, visuals, and simple language to reinforce the concept.
Multiple Means of Action and Expression (How):
-Allow Jimmy to demonstrate understanding by driving the car high or low.
-Let him use his body to show high and low movements.
Name every 6 movement concepts under the sub-category, with people and apparatus.
Near, far, in, out, over, under, through, on off, above, below, in front, behind, alongside, surrounding.
Come up with a sentence that includes a movement concept from every main category.

In Newhall's constraint theory, what are the three types of constraints and give and one example of each.
1. Individual
2. Task
3. Environment
Ex: Playing basketball
1. prior experience of the student
2. Getting the ball into the hoop
3. The surface that the student is playing on
