Reflection on Disability Handouts
Though this was a difficult task to accomplish (it took forever to figure out how to embed them), I'm really happy we had to do it. I was looking at the stack of handouts the other day, thinking, I could use these in the future, where can I keep them that they will be accessible. The real answer is nowhere. Even with good intentions, I would never be able to remember where they were when I needed them, and I would never need them when I did run across them. It is a constant problem. I wish everything was electronically filed. If/when I have a child with any category of disability in my class, I know right where to go to find quick strategies and resources. It's brilliant!

SERGE Resources (fixed)
http://serge.ccsso.org/question_1_2.html This link addresses exactly what Universal Design is, and has great resources on how to implement it in your classroom. Following are links to three of those resources:
http://www.washington.edu/doit/Brochures/Academics/ud_edu.html (my alma mater!) this gives an overview of Universal Design.
http://www.cast.org/teachingeverystudent/toolkits/downloads/PAL_udllessonanalysis.pdf This has information about how to apply ULD to specific lessons.
http://www.cast.org/teachingeverystudent/toolkits/tk_introduction.cfm?tk_id=21 Here you can create an inventory of all the methods you currently use to include all learners. This will help you assess where you are, and where you need improvement.
http://serge.ccsso.org/question_4_3.html This question addresses how to to involve learners in their own assessment. Anything that promotes a child to be involved in their own learning is worth looking into.
http://assessmentinst.com/forms/TIP-pub.pdf Provides specifics on how to involve students in the assessment process.
http://www.pdkintl.org/kappan/k9911sti.htm Questions current assumptions about assessment, and encourages their use as a way to boost student learning and confidence.
