Greetings and Welcome to another Potentially Useful episode of the TCAPSLoop Podcast. I’m so pumped for this episode as we are joined by Melissa Sanjeh and Bryan Dean of cast.org. They are here to de-mystify UDL and get you on board to implement their amazing resources into your practice, in the classroom, or district-wide. This is a must listen for any educator invested in the education of ALL students.   

Moment of Zen: “No one is useless in this world who lightens the burdens of another.” ― Charles Dickens

 

The Rundown:

Key Goals of the Podcast:

  1. Visibility for cast.org and what it can offer educators/schools
  2. Increase depth of understanding around accessibility/UDL

 

Audience for the Podcast:

  • K-12 educators
  • Administrators

 

Questions/Topics

  1. What is cast.org? What are the goals of your organization? 
  2. Why is accessibility important and necessary? What are some common accessibility barriers educators might be overlooking?
  3. How does UDL fit in? How can UDL benefit ALL learners?
  4. Connection between your work at cast.org and the NETP
  5. What advice would you give educators who are just starting to explore UDL, accessibility, and cast.org?

From a district leadership perspective, how do we make this into just something that we DO in our district/school?

 

Additional Questions:

  1. Can you share some success stories or personal anecdotes about accessibility and UDL in action?
  2. Can you share a Tech Tool for our listeners? What will help them learn more about the topic or what will help them be more accessible?
