The Accessible Instruction Pledge - It's OUR Responsibility! #edchat #spedchat #complexneeds #accessibility

As educators, we impact students, but do we effectively reach ALL of our students?  Anyone working with disabled students who fails to provide accessible instruction and materials is inadvertently building barriers to learning.  Join Atomic Learning and pledge to do your part to bring accessible instruction to all students by completing the Accessible Instruction Pledge.

After you complete the pledge, you will be directed to a series of video tutorials to help build your understanding of accessible instruction as well as reference tools.

Dare to Differentiate #differentiation #edchat #sped #spedchat

The Dare to Differentiate wiki is an amazing resource all about differentiated instruction.  This wiki is organized by Leslie Grahn, professor at Goucher College and Resource Teacher with the Howard County Public School System.  This wiki provides an in-depth overview of differentiation.  Background information is presented on differentiated instruction, Understanding by Design, curriculum mapping, and concept-based curriculum.  Other topics include Planning & Managing, Supportive Learning Environment, 21st Century Learning, Pre-Assessment, Continuous Assessment, Leadership for Differentiation, Professional Development for Differentiation, Universal Design for Learning, and Personalized Learning.  Additionally,  there are pages full of examples and templates for various differentiated instruction strategies.

Below is a Prezi that Leslie created on Navigating the Dare to Differentiate wiki.
