Not just yet, but I’ll try to assemble something.

Dani Davis-Becker @danidavisbecker.bsky.social · 23/02/2025

Implementing #UDL at the new school has been more cherished than I anticipated. We decided to start with #Assessment. It’s a huge perspective shift for most of the faculty but everyone is truly excited about it. Baby steps, but very important ones.

Did your child lose their book collection in the Los Angeles fires? Are you a teacher at a school that lost its library or your classroom library? Whether you need one book or a whole library, we can replace your books. 📚 Everyone else, please boost this post so we can connect with those in need. 🙏

Oh, for sure. Definitely not a conversation-starter! 😂

And with that, very little space to address the different needs of students.

Great perspective, thanks. I understand and value the effectiveness of lectures, what concerns me is that when 95% of the classes are solely relying on lectures, there’s very little room for student agency and a student-centered approach, especially when paired with a boxed-curriculum.

Beach day to recharge the energy for the last two weeks of school came in handy!

This seems obvious, but just take a look around.

Exhausted brains cannot function properly and come up with genius ideas. If we want teachers and admin at their best to provide meaningful learning, we need to make sure nobody is overworked.

Dr. Katherine Post’s powerful statement in Out of My Mind, the movie adaptation of Sharon Draper’s brilliant book, perfectly encapsulates the struggle faced by countless parents advocating for their children in schools: “Disabilities don’t hold students back—schools do.” How do we change this?

If a student is having trouble with an assignment, the goal of intervention time isn't to get through the assignment. The goal of any intervention is to improve the transferable skill that is at the root of the challenge. Homework help isn't intervention. #LeadInclusion #EduSky #InclusiveEd

Thank you for sharing! I ordered the bundle just now. Can’t wait to try it out.

Hahahaha sorry! One of the perks of living in the northeast part of Brazil is that we get summer weather the whole year. The bad part is not experiencing other seasons at all. No playing with the snow, no autumn leaves, no spring blossoms. It’s all summer. Or rainy days. It’s great, but not always.

The more options we give as universal design for learning, the fewer accommodations we need for individual students later. Universal solutions benefit everyone and single out no one. #LeadInclusion #UDL #UDLchat #EduSky #ATchat

This is where I’m heading to today. This pic is from last Wednesday (holiday here in Brazil), and I’m bound to repeat the destination.

Picture of the Flamengo beach in Salvador, Bahia, Brazil. A beautiful blue sky paired with the deep green ocean horizon fill the back part of the pic. On the sand, a series of umbrellas discreetly integrate the scene. The front portion of the picture displays 5 coconut trees close to one another, their shades right beneath them in a classic mid-day position. The picture exudes a paradisiac feeling.

U could start by host PD sessions 2 intro Ts to #UDL & how benefits all learners. Learner agency being the goal, learner variability being predictable, barriers in the design & not the learners. Encourage small, manageable opps-& when in meetings, model UDL #UDLchat

If I could do only one thing to shift learning in a school community, I would hang a big banner that reads: The barriers is in the design, not the learner. And no matter the discussion topic, I'd bring people back to this statement. It is the greatest design call to action I know. #UDL

If you just joined a school with a traditional lecture-based teaching, as a principal, what would be your first step towards implementing #UDL? #EduSky #EduChat #UDLchat #cultureshift

I had to stop and breathe to control the urge to reply a troll - I was going to share reliable sources of information. Instead, I simply blocked them. I’m working on making this a habit. It’s a paradox for an educator, indeed. But a very close one to Popper’s.

Hello, newcomers! This tip has been a game changer in my Bluesky experience. Passing it along.

#1 principle: #UDL is for ALL, and that includes the faculty.

I’m working on implementing #MTSS in my new school and having a hard time finding materials in Portuguese (60% of my faculty are not English speakers). So what I’m doing now is embedding Language For Learning strategies that I used in my classes into the Teacher Training so all can access. #UDL

I’d love to be added. By the way, we share a common friend: Doreen Miori-Merola.

I learned some stuff about Bluesky I did not know by reading this. Maybe worth passing it on to others so we can all start getting the full benefit of the 🦋.

Here’s some cool stuff you can do with Bluesky

It’s not just an Alf pics repository.

It’s working now! System is lagging because of the entry of 4M+ people only last week. They’re working on it.

Dani Davis-Becker @danidavisbecker.bsky.social · 17/11/2024

Jaz, thank you very much for creating it. Give yourself grace and don’t overwork yourself. We all need to exercise patience anyway and the lagging is not a dealbreaker. We’re here and we’re happy and grateful.

Me neither. I think it’s experiencing some sort of bug.
