Do you believe EVERY single student can learn? #HighExpectations #CollectiveTeacherEfficacy #UDL

Identifying low lift ways to reduce barriers for students can make a world of difference in their comprehension. Some barriers to consider...emotional, cultural, motivational, lack of previous knowledge, learning styles, overall presentation & previous learning experiences. #UDL

Middle School Teachers - Check out this recent share from edutopia about a simple way to differentiate and universally design through choice, reflection, and feedback. edutopia.org/article/4-tips…

Thank you DuPage County ROE and the Equity & Excellence Committee for welcoming me this morning to present our PreK-8 MTSS redesign process in CCSD 89! Being in a room full of change makers is extremely powerful! #MTSS #UDL

#RalphYarl accidentally rang the door of the wrong house while trying to pick up his siblings. For this, a man shot him in the head. Then shot him a 2nd time as he was on the ground. The man is free and the 16-year-old is fighting for his life in the hospital. This can’t be it.

As our understanding of the #ScienceofReading evolves, it's essential to stay up-to-date with the latest research and continually reflect on the impact on our students, to ensure that all learners have the opportunity to develop strong #reading skills. bit.ly/3HyDb21

To realize success, multi-tiered systems must be supported by drivers to ensure that all district resources are focused on supporting our students, who can and will learn and succeed with our support. BE THE DRIVER. bit.ly/3MQzhEN #MTSS #ChangeMakers

Love this reminder that learner variability is the rule, not the exception. #MTSS

Remember that UDL is an expansive framework, it can't be learned in a day. Think of it more like the skill of learning to speak a new language. It takes time, will come more naturally to some, and is learned little by little. Take small steps. Start here👇 bit.ly/466td1Y
