Teaching 11th Grade Math. I like students explaning/showing process. I think having videos instructions, calculators, examples problems, and collaboration is important for all students to access during class and during some tests. Also letting students lead classroom debriefs is fun way to do collaboration. Bottom up instead of Top down.

Sometimes we do not realize that students do not have an option about how they learn. Providing multiple means to achieve the same goal is the way to go.

Choosing when and how supports are beneficial is an important evaluative skill everyone needs.

I am currently working on educating myself and teachers about the variety of accommodations and supports available within the CAASPP system. As someone else posted I wonder how do we build a better understanding of who would benefit from what support and how to use these supports in the classrooms regularly.

This made me think about how important it is to create supportive environments in the classroom that take away the shame students feel about the supports they may have. Normalizing the notion that we all have supports for some things in our lives. Fair does not mean equal.

This says so much...... "We will never have enough staffing, funding, or time, if we continue to retrofit our supports instead of building it as part of the design."

I like the concept of focusing on what is the element to be tested; if it is comprehension, then maybe making an auditory text available would be appropriate--removing an impediment such as difficulty decoding text, in this case. -JRH

Before they fail! This is what kills me working in special education- they have failed and failed before we have permission to meet their needs. I love this poem and it's relevance.

I liked the examples of choices adults get to make throughout their day and school year. Why not allow students to use available supports, especially with the technological options we have these days?

I never really thought about everything I use or need to get through the day as an accessibility resource. After watching the powerful video, it really helped me to change my perspective.

Such a powerful way to view accommodations! I love framing it as "when" not "if" we need support. We all need support, it's just a question of when and what.

I love the question that is asked in her blog, "what kind of teacher do you want to be - one that supports them to believe in themselves - or make them feel like they cheat and must plea?" I know that I wanted to be a teacher BECAUSE I believe all children can learn, and so of course I want to support them to believe in themselves.

I love a UDL real-life illustration, and the winter tires one was new for me. Living in the valley of California I don't need winter tires. BUT, when I do drive to the mountains in winter, all-wheel drive is helpful. =)

How do we build in our supports at my school? (Text to Speech, choice seating, Innovation Hour, breaks, etc.)
How can we do better? (PD on UDL!!!)

What supports do ALL kids need?
*Choice
*Options
*Plans

"Self Regulate their learning..."

I liked  Shelley Moore's poetic style, and her impactful statement that "no one has ever been hurt by too many supports".
My goal is to create a "no bald-tire policy" for my students that is implemented from their perspective.

Let’s teach kids the skills and
de-criminalize supports they need to prevail! They will self regulate their learning
and get what they need BEFORE they fail.

Every morning of every day what supports do you rely on to help along the way? We wake up in the morning, our phones honk, chime or blast our favs and we struggle to get out of bed to music, horns …

Consider the role of supports in teaching, learning, and assessment via accessibility resources.
Reflect on what is resonating with you and make connections to others' thinking.

love the line she drew from the way that adults highly customize their lives to their liking because we "can" and how are we helping to customize the educational experience for ALL students

The comparison of regular tires to snow tires, made me think of training wheels as a support to learning to ride a bicycle. They can be helpful initially, but should be removed when the rider has gained some riding skills. -JRH
