"We weren't so much teaching students to think; we were liberating them to think. They already had it in them."

You can have engagement with absolutely no learning happening.
But you can't have deep, meaningful learning happen without engagement.
Learning is the main event. Engagement is the ticket to the show.
Design for both.

When people say “but the way we taught math back then worked, so why change it?” I’m left wondering: worked for WHO though? How many people do you know in your adult life who actually like math or feel remotely capable of doing it? #mathchat

When parents are all “why aren’t they teaching math the same way I was taught as a kid?” I’m like, because name one other thing you think should be done the same way it was THIRTY YEARS AGO?! #mathchat

We rest a lot of responsibility on the shoulders of paraprofessionals but rarely include them in professional development opportunities. Let's include our paraprofessionals in training for all teachers. #LeadInclusion #SpecialEducation #EdChat #UDL #Inclusion

The more universal design for learning we use, the fewer accommodations & modifications we need to add later. Win-Win! #LeadInclusion #SpecialEducation #EdChat #UDL #Inclusion

Many of the strategies in the #UDL framework may cause you to think, “that’s just good teaching.” This is true! But the framework brings INTENTIONALITY to removing barriers in our instruction. #LeadInclusion #SEL #EdChat #ATAssessment #UDL #Inclusion #UDL #EdLeaders

For the final day of #InclusiveSchoolsWeek #ISW2022, we are sharing another great #UDL quote from @KatieNovakUDL. Here’s to unlearning outdated beliefs to create better systems #SPED
ALT Implementing UDL requires us to unlearn many beliefs, assumptions, and teaching practices that no longer work. -Kate Novak

No amount of programs, person or computer interventions, well-rounded curriculums, grants, money, or (fill in the blank) will move numbers from Tier 2 & 3, unless your Tier 1 is a well-designed, learning centered force.
Tier 1 is the key.
Fix it first.

This is exactly why we must dig deeper to truly understand where each child’s understanding lies. Standardized assessments can not reveal the kind of actionable data that formative assessment through observations, interviews, work analysis, & conversations can. #MTBoS @mburnsmath

A2. I see your question and will raise you a question. “Why do we think that scaffolds and accommodations are only for students with disabilities. I do not have disabilities and I value the hell out of accommodations! ❤️ #UDLchat
