Summary

I fell in love with teaching many years ago, and it is a lifelong goal and commitment to see that every student has access to the learning style that works for them. This is why Universally Designed Learning practices are important. These practices provide flexibility in providing tools and learning strategies so that all children can learn in the way that best fits their needs. It is a goal to continue to implement these practices so that all students in the classroom can reach their full potential.
