Thank you Nancy for inviting me to put some thoughts about UDL on your blog.  I hope I can reduce some of the misconceptions about UDL that appeared here, and then perhaps engage in discussion where I can learn more from you and your readers.

The Loss of Special Education Teachers

February 28, 2016 By Nancy Bailey 32 Comments

Where did all the special education teachers go? Special education teachers who study and address the unique differences in students are really a part of the whole learning puzzle—necessary to a student’s future success. But alas, special education teachers are falling by the wayside. Time to update this post. In Washington State they are using […]

The focus should be on lifting traditional public schools & reading programs for many students who attend those schools rather than on unproven private and charter schools. Fix IDEA by increasing options. https://nancyebailey.com/2023/01/29/reading-disabilities-focus-on-public-schools-not-school-choice/

Special interests call ESA vouchers “scholarships” because private schools select their students. It’s not “school choice,” it’s the school’s choice 😡#AZVoucherWatch #VouchersHurt #FundOurSchools

On-demand standardized testing has no place in kindergarten. There are far more appropriate and meaningful methods of assessing young children. https://twitter.com/reimagschool/status/1619665302450753536

My wife's Kindergarten students felt very stressed and were crying when they had to take a standardized test. When she reported this to administrators their solution was "test them until they cry, and then stop." #testthemtiltheycry #resisttesting

Besides the many issues with standardized testing. Most students have no idea what they missed on the tests and teachers don't either. And by time they get results students have moved on to next grade. Making it useless to evaluate teachers & districts too.

One of many absurd theories coming out of states like VA is that reading must be taught from a packaged curriculum followed with fidelity.

I have never ever ever worked with a curriculum that didn’t need to be slightly or completely revised to meet the needs of actual students.
