Sara Key points: potential for student agency in their own learning, especially for ELL students. Idea of "self-access centers" within schools. If we give ELL students the meaningful task, and the collaborative structures, and then give them access to the resources, is that how they will learn best?

Key Points: Describes my frustrations and fears around the idea that our support for differences is becoming lowered expectations and tracking... can UDL be used as a way to flip the idea of designing individual plans for difference into planning a system wide shift in our curriculum and school and classroom design so that we are reaching ALL learners, without having to track or provide “supports” that have hidden lowered expectations embedded within them?

Jenna Key points: Describes how the UDL resources that I gathered for this week may be useful to us as a frame for how we approach the design task.

Key points: Describes my experience at BAA and two articles that explore how the integration of the arts can reach a broad range of learners.
