UDL 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 What’s good for one is good for all!

🔓 So many "special accommodations" for #students with IEPs have the potential to help all students. Let's open those doors for everyone through universal design for learning and offer the options to all. #LeadInclusion #EdLeaders #Teachers #UDL #TeacherTwitter

🌟 Just like the ramps around us that help everyone, the more universal design for learning we put into place in our #classrooms, the fewer special #accommodation and modifications we need to add later. #LeadInclusion #EdLeaders #Teachers #UDL

The time has come! We have waited long enough! I am so excited to share a BRAND NEW 5MM VIDEO! Shifting to Inclusive and Strength Based I.E. PEAS youtu.be/kki-2HDtvQ8

Thank you to the Teachers of the Developmental Education Program for joining us today for PD! Engaging in rich conversations & sharing best practices.You are all inspirational & amazing educators! Shout out to our IRTs & to Lisa & Sarah for sharing their expertise.

@OcsbABA has created a bigger and better training hub for our Passport to ABA! Instead of the Hapara Passport to ABA workspace, we have a “One Stop Shop” for all our training in D2L Brightspace, which is easily accessible in your OCSB Staff Portal!
