The evolution of the digital environment brings new meaning to #literacy. It's important for students to have #access to each of these. #Equity #UDL #FCPSVanguard @heathermcc @FCPSACTT

Loved reading ‘If You Give a Pig a Pancake' with my Expressions students! Inspired by the story, we used communication devices to sequence a pancake recipe. Watching them communicate and participate was priceless. #InclusiveLearning @ashrumevans @FCPSACTT

Personalizing learning while meeting their needs in small group. #FCPSVanguard #FCPSisSpecial @MadiganFCPS @FCPSACTT @EHainesFCPS

A great analogy to highlight the need for #PersonalizedLearning, #accessible materials, #equity, and #empathy. @fcpsafa @heathermcc

[Amy Boehman-Pollitt @AmyBoehman]

#UDL is the framework, the WHY of what we do as educators. #AEM is HOW we get there by opening opportunities for all students, regardless of race or disability. #equity #LearnerVariability #personalized #FCPSvanguard @fcpsAFA @heathermcc

This is #equity and inclusion for all students! #UDL #FCPSAFA

[Amy Boehman-Pollitt @AmyBoehman]

A perfect example of #equity in education right from the mouth of a student. #UDL #inclusiveED #personalizedlearning @heathermcc @FCPSACTT

Working memory is small. It plays a large part in turning information from "I was taught this" to " I learned this".

[Amy Boehman-Pollitt @AmyBoehman]

"Memory is the residue of thought." Powerful statement. Reading or hearing text aloud will not replace thinking.
