⏰ The time for UDL is NOW! Every learner deserves access, engagement, and meaningful learning experiences. Let’s design for ALL, not just some. #UDL #LeadInclusion #EduSky #InclusiveEducation
A beige background with bold, pink, glowing text reading "WE NEED" stacked above black text reading "MORE UDL!" The "O" in "MORE" is replaced by a white alarm clock set to 10:10. The Lead Inclusion logo is in the bottom right corner.

🔬 Meta-analytic research, like that of Visible Learning, has transformed education from tradition to science. We have evidence of what works best—let’s use it to ensure every student thrives. 📚 #LeadInclusion #EduSky #UDL #EdChat

YES!!! To make this a reality, special educators need access to the same high quality professional learning offered to their general education peers. Too often, they are excluded. Inclusive practices need to extend to the teachers and paraprofessionals who work with our most vulnerable students.

Alison Mello, Ed.D. @alisonmellomath.bsky.social · 13/01/2025
Amen. This goes both ways. Inclusion applies to teachers and I'm always upset when special educators are excluded from my trainings. Anyone supporting students needs access to the best resources & opportunities. Support the success of all teachers by including them in professional learning.

THIS!!!!!! 👇 If students don't have the opportunity to work without an adult, they are missing the most important lesson(s) of all. I see this with special educators as well. It's horrifying to see opportunity gaps this creates, even when we'll intended.
