Meet and chat with colleagues about Universal Design for Learning (UDL) on Twitter! The best hour of professional learning you'll get in 30 minutes. Held the first and third Wednesdays of the month from 9-9:30PM ET.
Hi! I’m Christine from Massachusetts. 2 dream vacation spots: I’ve always dreamed of going to Ireland & France. Haven’t made it to either place...yet! #udlchat
Hiya #UDLchat! I'm Mindy from @CAST_UDL in MA. My dream vacation spot? Somewhere quiet, not much to do, no beaches, and I can bring my dog. #ILikeWeirdVacations

That is our task although sometimes it seems titanic, we must continue believing and doing at some point we will manage to mobilize the system #UDLchat
A1: future topics...keeping the #UDL momentum going years into “implementation,” PD that balances new staff members’ needs wth those who’ve been on the UDL train for a long time. #udlchat
A2. How to you manage the interplay between accessible content and currency for example, do you show a news clip from the morning even though it isn't captioned? #udlchat

impact only on a student or a colleague is enough and that is why it moves mountains, I have always thought that the domino effect is wonderful #udlchat
A2: How is UDL related to the work of progressive educational philosophers (Dewey, Rogers, etc.)? How can we help folks make connections between UDL and the legacy of progressive ed? #UDLchat
A2: Beyond Ts planning lessons with #UDL principles, how can we use the #UDL framework to solve school-wide problems? How can Ts & admin use the language of #UDL to communicate? #udlchat
A2: How do we insure that #UDL can be interpreted to match the beliefs of not only the districts but the beliefs and assumptions of practitioners. How does it become more than superficial implementation? #udlchat
A2: How do we concretize some of the more abstract elements of UDL (guiding visualization processing, foster collaboration and community, etc.) and make them feasible for UDL newcomers?- #UDLchat
A3 some way, somehow we need to garner the support of state officials. UDL is not a special ed initiative but that is what many believe in PA and I'm guessing many other places. #udlchat
#UDL seems to be a one-off topic for a lot of education-focused chats. Maybe we can do a few crosswalks when that happens? Activate the #UDLarmy? #UDLchat
I agree but it does start with that accessible/choice level… it’s bridging the gap of innovation and diffusion that drives it deeper and becomes part of our make-up…#udlchat
Q4: Tough one! Ultimately I hope it is ubiquitous. I fear it will be swallowed up by too many out of sync mandates. I believe it will reframe the concept of “Learner Centered Design” for the entire educational continuum. #udlchat
A4: UDL will take over education from the inside out! When individual Ts and classes full of Ss are having huge successes, other teachers will notice. Administrators and legislators won’t be able to deny the effectiveness of UDL. #UDLchat
So many fabulous ideas for future #UDLchat topics, questions, and field trips. And so inspired by our collective vision for UDL beyond! Join @digitallearnudl March 7 for the next live chat. And don't forget, the hashtag is open 24/7/365. Keep sharing, #UDLrockstars!
Wow that was a fast 30 minutes. The time flew by quickly and a big thank you to all the #udlninjas and @weyandt22 for Co-Hosting and making it so fun. #udlchat
A3: Common assessments with multiple and varied opportunities to show proficiency. #sblchat All of our USHist teachers (5) assess using the same tools.
A4: Not sure...my own kids will be in middle/high school in 5-10 years so I hope it looks like my kids being fully engaged in learning, in & out of their classrooms. #udlchat
The mark of a true friendship is when you can return after having been away for a while and pick up right where you left off. We missed you, #UDLbro! #UDLchat#UDLfam
Great question! And... Why do most learning supports require "extra" work on the learner's part when struggling learners tend to be challenge-averse? How do we gradually-release challenge? #UDLchat
with self-determination and shaping the taking care of their needs and raise the scaffolding that requires, for that we need to eliminate the fear of receiving supports #UDLchat
