Teaching Every Student
After completing and looking over the Teaching Every Student part of the Cast website, this website has an overly large amount of useful information. It helps you comprehend how the brain works and how to meet the learners needs from the start so there is no back tracking. Below is the link.

The book that the website follows by is called Teaching Every Student in the Digital Age: Universal Design for Learning, By. David Rose & Anne Meyer.
This book is the reasoning behind Cast.org. It illustrates a practical, research-based framework for responding to individual learning differences and a blueprint for the building of a new design of education. The book is a must read for teachers.
This part of the websites helps you understand the main guidelines of UDL. The guidelines are to help anyone who plans lessons, assessments, and goals to meet the learners needs from the start.

I like how you point out the website discussing how the brain works, I think as educators we can overlook this important piece of how students learn and how we learn as individuals. It also can impact the way we comprehend language and interpret it. If we look at how the brain works this could ultimately help us in the classroom when providing instruction to our students.
ReplyDeleteJessica, I think it's great that you commented on how the brain works. If we are able to know how the learning process works, we should be able to deliver material accordingly. I think it's good that you provided the link for readers to research as well!
