033 Jennifer Shares Universal Design

Release Date:  November 12, 2019 Leave a Comment

Episode Synopsis

Every student deserves an equitable opportunity to learn in our classroom. Jennifer Pusateri joins us to share how her work with universal design for learning (UDL) helps remove barriers to learning for students. We re-examine our assumptions for how a classroom must run and find ways to provide options for each learner in our room.

Later, we debate how useful metadata can be for supporting student motivation. A new study suggests we have a new way to measure self-efficacy in mathematics, but how is that different from what we already observe in the classroom?

Finally, our Hot Off the Presses segment looks at how a new California law has banned suspensions for “willful defiance”.
