Yes, Shelley! This shift in perspective is so important! So much can be accomplished when we start off on the right foot.

FIRE, Shelley! Love the requirement for a paradigm shift.

OMG! This video ended up 100x better than I thought. Thank you about the tip about "fixing the context of learning!"

Society needs to adopt this model, in general.

Another FANTASTIC video. I am a huge fan and wish every person in our school would change their mindset to this.

Thank you, Shelly! Loved your Hong Kong example - can't help but make the connection to how school boards support Multilingual Learners (ELLs). We are trying to battle our way out of this medical deficit model as well.

Please come back to PG!! I wasn’t at my current school when you were here last, but I was told you made a visit and I’m very jealous ! 😅 I do truly think you could help make even more changes for our school. Advocacy is a huge issue right now. I also love your podcast and truly learn so much from you. Sending positivity and loving energy to you and your family! 💚

Brilliant! I loved your example!

You explained that beautifully!

One plan for all. Brilliant

Love your videos , thank you ❤

Love the paradigm shift here, where the issue is not the student but the environment that may need the fixing. So tired of watching students have to fail or display behavior to get support. Would love it to be embedded and part of quality education.

I firmly believe that we are focused on the wrong component of education... we need to focus on much earlier... engaging genuine supportive inclusive practices into early childhood education and care settings to develop educators understanding of neuroaffirming care strategies, creating spaces based on UDL and embedding multimodal communication and visual cue supports will support all children's needs early and minimise the impact later.

Good theory... but sharing best practices should necessarily be centred around modern, real-world examples in challenging contexts. What does it actually LOOK like in practice, implemented in a SUSTAINABLE way in a real inner-city post-COVID classroom context, where there are years of compounded unmet needs?

What environmental changes have teachers begin with that most efficiently works for diverse needs?

Great question - I'd like to know too.

UDL 2.0?

These conversations always feel targeted towards Elementary/Intermediate. A UDL conversation with an actual tangible example shown for the senior secondary level is something i've never seen. No one addresses the elephant in the room that we are training them for entry into post-secondary. The rigour that is required is high and students are overwhelmingly underperforming. From the parents' perspective there is such a high demand for specialized classrooms (IB/AP)
