If I could do only one thing to shift learning in a school community, I would hang a big banner that reads: The barriers is in the design, not the learner. And no matter the discussion topic, I'd bring people back to this statement. It is the greatest design call to action I know. #UDL

My colleague Michael McSheehan summarizes #UDL better than anyone I know: "Instead of asking if the learner is ready for the lesson, UDL asks if the lesson is ready for the learner."

Another good example of “essential for some, beneficial for all!”

Thanks for sharing this, @amandamorin.bsky.social & @emilykm-lpc.bsky.social!

Straws weren’t invented for convenience—they were created for accessibility.
Now? Everyone uses them, including @emilykm-lpc.bsky.social, who I teased about it on Ep. 5 of the Creating Neurodiversity-Affirming Schools podcast. 🥤
That’s the power of inclusive design. #Neurodiversity #EduSky

🌍 The single most important first step to designing for #school #equity and #inclusion is deep, sustained work on the instruction that all #students get in every classroom--#UDL. #LeadInclusion #EdLeaders #Teachers #UDLchat #EduSky

⏳ If half the class requires tier 2 support, the school doesn't need more tier 2 #intervention strategies or programs. There's a need for more universal design. #LeadInclusion #MTSS #UDLchat #InclusiveEd #EdLeaders #Teachers #UDL #EduSky

I love this additional bit of #accessibility in Book Creator and I really like how the post points out ways it benefits ALL learners.

The real power of #UDL isn't that it is learner centered design. It's real power is that it is HUMAN centered design that validates and empowers everyone to contribute authentically and with agency. That small change in phrasing contains massive impact. #EDUsky #UDLchat

👥 Students who have #IEPs are not "special education students." They are simply students. They belong to every educator they have. Receiving a service shouldn't impose an identity. #LeadInclusion #EdLeaders #Teachers #UDL #UDLchat #SpecialEducation #InclusiveEd #MTSS #ATchat #EdChat #EduSky

We waste the resource of our special educators if their role is mostly helping with assignments. Their expertise reaches so much farther when they have a role in co-designing instruction. That takes #EdLeaders planning the time for this. #LeadInclusion #EduSky #InclusiveEd #UDL #EduSkyChat #UDLchat

The more options we give as universal design for learning, the fewer accommodations we need for individual students later. Universal solutions benefit everyone and single out no one. #LeadInclusion #UDL #UDLchat #EduSky #ATchat
