Though all the districts we are working with in New Jersey will benefit from watching this video, I thought that it would make for great conversation when we meet on May 27. Please leave your comment below.
Take a look at the video called, Shift Happens. The original version of the video was created for a Colorado High School staff of 150 August 2006. In June 2007 it had already started more than 5 million conversations around the world. So join the conversation.
Take a look back at the comments from your peers after we met last month. If I were to try to find a common theme, it were to be interactivity. What theme would you find from these comments?
To make sure that we are on the same page moving forward with embedding Universal Design for Learning in our classrooms, we need to make some decisions about our students.
Take a look at this keynote delivered by a young man from Dallas, Dalton Sherman. Listening and watching Dalton speak in front of thousands of educators made me think about the students and educators I work with and I’m hoping that it will open a discussion I’d like to have today about differentiation, engagement and accessibility.
(Thanks goes to Kevin Jarrett for originally blogging about the video last August.)

We will all spend some time today exploring the UDL Toolkit Wiki created and maintained by Karen Janowski and Joyce Valenza paying special attention to the page on math tools.
