Providing Flexible Opportunities for Demonstrating Skill is a UDL strategy presented in Chapter 6 of Teaching Every Student in the Digital Age.
Key Concepts:
1. Learners needs opportunities to demonstrate skills.
2. Demonstration challenges learners to consolidate their learning.
3. Demonstrations for a broader audience encourage feedback from more sources than just the classroom teacher.
4. Digital media such as creating digital presentations or blogging provide opportunities for demonstrating skill.

Sample Lesson
|
David Livingstone School (year 1 UDL team) recently hosted a Passion Cafe. Students in several intermediate classrooms had been researching topics of great personal interest. Teachers had established checkpoints throughout the research process such as choosing a topic and gathering facts and students worked on these projects at home or whenever they had spare classroom time. The students had already presented oral reports on their subject in their own classrooms. At the Passion Cafe, students received cups of tea (real China cups!) and cookies and proceeded to "mix" as if they were at a tea party sharing information about their topic conversationally.

Discussion
What are some other venues in which students can present their work to an authentic audience?
This brainstorm was created with Wordle.
