As an elementary classroom teacher, I am very excited about all of my learners gaining access to the curriculum. Since Boston's curriculum is not universally designed, many of my students have been denied access. I am certain that most of my colleagues and administrators in Boston are unaware that this inaccessibility still exists to the extent that it currently does. It has been eye-opening to view curriculum through the lense of UDL. I am searching for answers to many very large questions like: Where do I begin? and How can I obtain resources to bring UDL to my school?
I/we would appreciate any help or suggestions that anyone can make.
As I begin to search for answers to these far-reaching questions, I am creating a list of some cool links on my blog that I am finding as I read the articles and search through numerous media links. If you can suggest any that would be helpful too.
I continue to look forward to reading everyone's blogs and to learning as much about implementing UDL as I can!

Tricia, Nice job on your blog. I love the slide show and the way the size of the picture of the dog really underscores his/her apparent size!! I think it adds a very artsy touch!
Just some food for thought: how can images be a barrier to some students and how can they be made universally accessible?
UDL actually not only provides access to the curriculum, but access to learning. David will talk about this idea more over the semester.
