Another great resource for teachers to see UDL in action is, The UDL Principles and Practice video series on YouTube. This video series gives examples of UDL in actual classrooms. There are six videos total and you can find them here:

In this podcast Dr. Loui sits down with teachers from different schools to talk about their experiences with and strategies for UDL in the classroom! You can find it here: https://t.co/EfgtfYN6xH @tonniemartinez

I have another amazing podcast to suggest for teachers out there wanting to know more about the Universal Design for Learning! It is called “UDL in 15 Minutes” with @LouiLordNelson

A great resource I found to help introduce your students to religious diversity in your classroom is this lesson plan idea from the website, @TeacherVision. You can preview the lesson or download the whole thing onto your computer and modify it a needed!

It also includes some scenarios and answers to questions a lot of teachers are probably asking. You can find it here: https://t.co/MzvMrFeRqL @tonniemartinez

Diversity in the classroom comes in many forms. One way teachers see diversity in their students is in the form of religion. A great resource I have found for educators is an article that talks about the difference in “teaching about religion” and “teaching religion.”

@GLSEN provides a great resource for teachers about how to develop an LGBTQIA+ inclusive curriculum. You can find it here: https://t.co/fmdoqr1L9G

[Alexa Raney @RaneyAlexa]

As educators, along with showing our students that our classroom is a safe place for them, we need to shape our curriculum so that LGBTQIA+ students see themselves represented in our lessons!

It is crucial as an educator to make every single one of our students feel welcome and safe in our classrooms. A good way to do this is by posting a sign like the one below in your classroom! This is an easy and effective way to let your students know that everyone is welcome!

To learn more about these intersecting things, the podcast, “Intersectionality Matters” with Kimberlé Crenshaw @sandylocks is an amazing resource!! @tonniemartinez

[Alexa Raney @RaneyAlexa]

While thinking about ourselves as educators is great, our students need to be our #1 priority! Our students have a lot going on in their lives. Multiple things intersecting outside of our students control that can cause issues we may not be aware of…

Here is a quick and inspiring YouTube video with Laura from “The Fancy Counselor” about embedding anti-racist ideas into your teaching! It is from the Teachers Pay Teachers YouTube account. @tonniemartinez

P.S. Support Black Owned Businesses! These books came from: Black Stone Bookstore (they do not have a Twitter but they have an Instagram if you want to follow them there!) and @Afriware

[Alexa Raney @RaneyAlexa]

Along with self-reflection, staying educated as a teacher is crucial. One way I educated myself this summer was by purchasing and reading books about anti-racism. Two that are very beneficial for educators are the two in the photo below @tonniemartinez

[Alexa Raney @RaneyAlexa]

As a teacher it is crucial that we understand our implicit biases so that we can keep ourselves in check! A good resource for this is the Harvard Implicit tests. There are a variety of tests to help identify bias! You can find them here: https://t.co/h3smDzHXtb @tonniemartinez
