I am so excited to introduce my first book, Universal Design for Learning in Mathematics Instruction K-5. This has been a true passion project in partnership with @KatieNovakUDL as we explore math instruction with a #UDL lens. Ready for preorder now and out Nov 14! @CAST_UDL
Meeting the needs of all learners will not happen overnight but when a committed team is committed to the process of improvement, we can create a system where all students have equal opportunities to succeed.

Reflect daily on small data. At the end of every day, take two minutes and jot down a few quick reflections.
Use small data—student engagement, formative assessments, exit tickets—to adjust in real time and to celebrate wins!
Saw this awesome pile of Jacks this morning! How many? How do you know? We can count the number of Jacks or we can determine the number of pointy parts (name??) in all. If there are 6 pointy parts per Jack and there are 10 Jacks, how many pointy parts in all? @KatieNovakUDL
