@validateaffirm Thank you for your message. I have held it close since I first saw you present a few years back. I love the message, thank you for your impact!
Let’s consider how the Universal Design for Learning (UDL) framework intersects with serving multilingual learners.
#UDL (CAST, 2016) is a powerful instructional framework commonly used in special education to design equitable learning environments for ALL learners.
3 core principles guide the planning process & lesson delivery:
1. ENGAGE
2. REPRESENT
3. EXPRESS
UDL can support & benefit MLs because it pushes us to become intentional about providing choice, connecting with students backgrounds and prior knowledge or experiences, forming goals, embedding multimodal forms of representation & increasing ways learners respond.
Let’s design instruction that is equitable & accessible to all learners.

To the women around the world who support in our mission to help all students access equitable opportunities to learn and reach high expectations, today we celebrate you! Happy #InternationWomensDay
It is VITAL that we protect the languages students join our classrooms knowing, hearing, understanding, speaking. These are leverages to acquiring English or other languages.
Ignoring languages not only limits students’ participation but also endangers their confidence & identity increasing language loss.
Linguistic oppression has devastating consequences.
