@ashley_wright17 For me, UDL in my field experience starts with knowing my students. Knowing their IPPs, their learning preferences and their struggles. Then it involves accessing and using that information in my lesson planning. But it all starts with relationships.

[Jon Beckett @Jon_Beckett]

@thinkmo I would say to start small. A mountain seems intimidating, but is conquered with single steps! Apply one new aspect per week.

[Jon Beckett @Jon_Beckett]

@hrdavidson78 I think that within a UDL framework, and considering potential IPPs as well, rigour means different things for different students. As teachers we need to meet our students where they are, and expect the level of academic achievement that is appropriate for each.

@BadlandsTeacher @24marshalee @dmscott73 @dgr8estone Please do! Let us know how it goes, and if we can plus your process, we’re here for you!

Just a few images to illustrate our team's journey (Lana, Jon and Marsha) through the Design Thinking process. Many thanks to @dmscott73 @jthill and all our expert helpers for shepherding us through the process! #dtk12

@brady_kautz @jthill @JessicaSchovan1 @Cchapin85 Interesting. Would be neat for students to interview those people's kids to find out about their lives and their perspective on their parents' work...

[Jon Beckett @Jon_Beckett]

@dmscott73 @PoissantCarrie #dtk12 It certainly has felt that way in this program, many times. Going to miss this cohort.

@jthill @JessicaSchovan1 @brady_kautz @Cchapin85 Oh, that's good. Already thinking of friends in Nunavik... #dtk12

@brady_kautz @Jon_Beckett @Cchapin85 @JessicaSchovan1 I recommend getting away from thinking of "experts" as people to present or speak. YouTube and TED talks are full of great presentations that you can curate for your students. Think about how you can get your students out into the community working with people for common purpose.

[Jon Beckett @Jon_Beckett]

#dtk12 Thank you so much to all who came out tonight to join us and plus our conversation with some fabulous ideas! Thanks @sfriesen @barbbrown @jthill @dmscott73 and any others I missed!

@jthill @brady_kautz @Cchapin85 @JessicaSchovan1 #dtk12 That's a mind-blowing comment, @jthill. Thank you for that. Think of the "alongside learning" learning potential in a "guide on the side"!

[Jon Beckett @Jon_Beckett]

@brady_kautz @Cchapin85 @JessicaSchovan1 I think that's why networking is so important. We could ask or even set up a subpage on the Alberta Teachers Facebook group! Can I mention Facebook here? Will my computer burst into flames? #dtk12

[Jon Beckett @Jon_Beckett]

@dmscott73 @JessicaSchovan1 How about consulting with students to find out what kind of information they need and what kind of experts they think are appropriate? They might surprise us!

[Jon Beckett @Jon_Beckett]

@dmscott73 @TaylorElder17 @TSkoby #dtk12 How about exploring the curriculum, or discovering the curriculum? More open mindset.

[Jon Beckett @Jon_Beckett]

@BadlandsTeacher @JessicaSchovan1 Absolutely. Helps an expert to prepare. #dtk12

[Jon Beckett @Jon_Beckett]

@Cchapin85 @brady_kautz @JessicaSchovan1 #dtk12 I think a teacher can build a roster of agreeable and experienced experts over the years. It's an iterative process...

[Jon Beckett @Jon_Beckett]

@brady_kautz @JessicaSchovan1 The school I work in started doing that after one disastrous incident. Letters had to be sent home to parents to explain. Not a fun day. #dtk12

[Jon Beckett @Jon_Beckett]

@BadlandsTeacher @JessicaSchovan1 #dtk12 Good thinking. Empathy on the audience's part could be crucial to expert success. Not everyone is accustomed to standing in front of 27 kids...

[Jon Beckett @Jon_Beckett]

@ElsenMichele #dtk12 Yes, and let's give them the language to do it. @CathySandul
