I chose this link because once I start teaching, I want to be aware of what the law requires. It is my hope to go beyond requirements, but I want to be aware of what they are.

How can I design curriculum that meets the needs of all my students?
https://westminstercollege.blackboard.com/webapps/portal/frameset.jsp?tabGroup=courses&url=%2Fwebapps%2Fblackboard%2Fcontent%2FcontentWrapper.jsp%3Fcontent_id%3D_3420_1%26displayName%3DLinked%2BFile%26course_id%3D_990_1%26navItem%3Dcontent%26attachment%3Dtrue%26href%3Dhttp%253A%252F%252Fserge.ccsso.org%252Fsite_map.html
 This will come in handy if designing curriculum for an inclusive classroom. It will be my job to develop lessons that work for students with various disabilities, ELLs, and culturally diverse learners.

What is Universal Design, and how would I use it?
https://westminstercollege.blackboard.com/webapps/portal/frameset.jsp?tabGroup=courses&url=%2Fwebapps%2Fblackboard%2Fcontent%2FcontentWrapper.jsp%3Fcontent_id%3D_3420_1%26displayName%3DLinked%2BFile%26course_id%3D_990_1%26navItem%3Dcontent%26attachment%3Dtrue%26href%3Dhttp%253A%252F%252Fserge.ccsso.org%252Fsite_map.html
I have heard a bit about universal design and look forward to learning much more about it.

This organizer offers great advice, I wish there were sample elementary pages.

Unit planning: differentiated instruction

This is such a helpful guide in planning. It offers great questions to ask yourself when teaching all children; every one of them may struggle at some point.

This is a handy chart to keep in mind different ways you can approach instruction with these different types of learners. I wish it was more detailed and with examples!

Reflection on posts from UAAACT

I posted a link to the state office of Education's page on students with disability. This page has some great resources on it, including information about scholarships and grants and current information about Utah and disability laws.
I also posted a link to UAAACTs page on having a child evaluated for assistive technology. There are a lot of technologies available, and the more we know about as teachers, and about the process of obtaining them, the more precisely we'll be able to serve students.
Finally, I posted a link to a list of readers for students with disabilities aimed at teaching the core curriculum. Even if I don't use these, they might have some good teaching ideas in them.

CEC Links

I posted the assessment link because I've been doing a lot of reading and writing about assessment, but I haven't seen much about students with disability and assessments, so I'm anxious to find out more.
I posted the behavior management link because I'm hoping to find some great resources in there to help me manage behavioral issues.
Finally, I posted the early childhood education link because I use to work in ECE, and loved it. The earlier education is started, the better.
