Student-oriented, reflective, life-long educator committed to providing an environment that promotes intellectual risk-taking, resiliency, and self-esteem.
@thinkmo A2: @jthill shared that when we make learning accessible for our high needs students, we inadvertently make it more accessible for all of our students. This really resonated with me and has shaped my ideology regarding implementing UDL.
Design Story: Giving teachers the tools they need to support students' self-regulation to fully reach learner potential. #dtk12@jthill https://t.co/olgUSixFIB
@KellyPotiuk The passion for the profession of my colleagues is contagious and I believe positive relationships is a key influencer to my mindset. I really enjoy this video that highlights the importance of relationships. https://t.co/bSBlRRJ04k
@jthill@AnnetteMcCaff10@MrsTenHove It's also empowering for students to understand that there are many ways to get to a solution, not just one correct way.
@roesterica A5: I feel that this has been accomplished well in EDUC 546. The course is scaffolded in a way that all students will be successful, and everything we do is documented to show the evolution of the final deliverable.
@jthill@DMcWilliam I appreciate the reframe, it is important to recognize that the impact is mutual. Your comment reminded me of this quote that I like!
@DMcWilliam I couldn't agree more! Collaboration creates amazing results that couldn't have been possible individually. This is a great article that speaks to the benefits of the collective 'WE'. https://t.co/BPxQVOtW5h
@MaliaKGray Firstly, creating a judgment-free space is crucial. Secondly, students need to get to one another; when we know people better, we tend to support each other and students will feel more empowered to take risks.
@dgr8estone A7: I think this is where knowing our students well, is of utmost importance so that our UDL will create meaningful learning opportunities for all students. #dtk12chat
@mrs_troendle A1: I like this analogy of DT as having the right travel or teammates. On a team, every player has their position and for the team to be successful, each team member needs to play their position to the best of their ability. We need to help students realize their strengths #dtk12
@MaliaKGray A5: I think it's important to encourage cohesion within a classroom so students feel like their "failures" aren't being judged by their classmates. #dtk12
