You can have engagement with absolutely no learning happening.

But you can't have deep, meaningful learning happen without engagement.

Learning is the main event. Engagement is the ticket to the show.

Design for both.

When people say “but the way we taught math back then worked, so why change it?” I’m left wondering: worked for WHO though? How many people do you know in your adult life who actually like math or feel remotely capable of doing it? #mathchat

[vanessa vakharia @TheMathGuru]

When parents are all “why aren’t they teaching math the same way I was taught as a kid?” I’m like, because name one other thing you think should be done the same way it was THIRTY YEARS AGO?! #mathchat

We rest a lot of responsibility on the shoulders of paraprofessionals but rarely include them in professional development opportunities. Let's include our paraprofessionals in training for all teachers. #LeadInclusion #SpecialEducation #EdChat #UDL #Inclusion

@NicholasFerroni We live in the Boston area and have one in college and a second going next year. My husband also works as a personal trainer on the side.

@NicholasFerroni 26 years and the equivalent of 2 Master’s degrees and I JUST hit this amount. Hubby is 28 years in (M+15) and hasn’t hit it yet.

The more universal design for learning we use, the fewer accommodations & modifications we need to add later. Win-Win! #LeadInclusion #SpecialEducation #EdChat #UDL #Inclusion

@abbeydick I just spit out my drink 😂

Many of the strategies in the #UDL framework may cause you to think, “that’s just good teaching.” This is true! But the framework brings INTENTIONALITY to removing barriers in our instruction. #LeadInclusion #SEL #EdChat #ATAssessment #UDL #Inclusion #UDL #EdLeaders
