Three diverse teachers collaboratively reviewing a document, smiling and engaged. Text overlay reads, "All students benefit from special education strategies when teachers co-plan." Logo in the corner says "Lead Inclusion."
🏫 Inclusive school leaders structure the master schedule for co-planning, and include special educators in grade-level or content-area meetings. All students benefit from special education strategies when we do. #LeadInclusion #EduSky #UDL #InclusiveEd #EdLeaders
Blue fabric with a Velcro strip, featuring the text "A student who has been velcroed to a paraprofessional has not been included." Logo in the corner.
👥 A #student who is velcroed to a paraprofessional all day has not been included. Exclusion can happen even when sharing the same room. LRE is a low bar. #LeadInclusion #EduSky #UDL #InclusiveEd #EdLeaders
Blue text on a light blue background reads, 'In inclusive classrooms, everyone is Seen, Heard, & Valued.' A logo with 'lead inclusion' appears in the bottom right."
🏫 An inclusive classroom is a place where every learner feels seen, heard, and valued. #LeadInclusion #EduSky #UDL #InclusiveEd #EdLeaders
Happy to share I’m part of the 2026 UDL Fellows Cohort this spring/summer 🌞 Looking forward to learning alongside educators across disciplines and continuing to build courses that support diverse learners and ways of knowing. Grateful for the opportunity 👩🏽🏫 #UDL #HigherEd #AcademicSky
Text reads, “Place inclusively, and ask, ‘How can I ensure the student gains valuable learning?’” on a colorful watercolor background of blue, green, red, and yellow. The "lead inclusion" logo is at the bottom right.
🏢 When making placement decisions, the question should not be whether the #student can meet grade level expectations. The question is, "How can the student learn something valuable in this setting?" #LeadInclusion #EduSky #UDL #InclusiveEd #EdLeaders
Text overlay on a blurred hallway reads, "Schools become inclusive because of teachers who are collaborative, caring innovators who make it work for each student." In the corner, a logo reads "lead inclusion."
🏫 #Schools don't become "#inclusive schools" by #learning strategies and implementing programs. They become inclusive because the people are collaborative, caring, innovators who make it work for each #student. #LeadInclusion #EduSky #UDL #InclusiveEd #EdLeaders

“The barrier isn’t the learner—it’s the design.”
This week’s episode is a must-listen.

#UDL #InclusiveEducation #TeacherMindset
Three educators engage in a discussion near windows. Text reads, "Classroom teachers and special educators need scheduled time to identify barriers & plan together." The atmosphere is collaborative.
🏢 #EdLeaders: To implement UDL well, classroom teachers and special educators need scheduled time to identify barriers and co-plan. This investment pays off significantly for every student. #LeadInclusion #EduSky #UDL #InclusiveEd
A teacher engages with diverse young students at a classroom table, focused on activities. Text reads, "Teaching isn’t best evaluated by watching teachers, but rather in watching students."
🏆 Learning isn’t about what we deliver—it’s about what students receive. To reflect on our teaching, we look to the students, what they do, how they engage. #LeadInclusion #EduSky #UDL #InclusiveEd #EdLeaders
AI can generate lessons, assessments, and activities in seconds. But it doesn’t automatically design for learner variability. Here's why.

"Illustrated text reads 'Iterate instruction with Universal Design for Learning' atop a background of code. Below, wooden blocks spell 'Iteration.' Logo reads 'Lead Inclusion.'"
🏃 We can make massive strides in becoming a more #inclusive classroom by finding ways to iterate our instruction with universal design for learning as the guide. #LeadInclusion #EduSky #UDL #InclusiveEd #EdLeaders
A checked box labeled "Now" on lined paper and a red pin illustrate the message "More universal design now means fewer accommodations & modifications later."
The more universal design for learning we put into place in our classrooms, the fewer special accommodation and modifications we need to add later. #LeadInclusion #EduSky #Teachers #UDL

It’s not the learner—it’s the design.

Designing choice for students? Consider nudging students as discussed in behavioral economics. #nudge #education #UDL
Crumpled paper background with bold black text stating, "Pulling students from a classroom because they have a label harms self-efficacy and belonging. There are far better options." A logo in the bottom right reads "lead inclusion" with a tagline "all belong, all learn, all succeed."
Pulling students from the classroom because they have a label harms a sense of belonging (and self-efficacy). There are wonderful alternates to this approach that are research based and support belonging. We all have strengths and needs. #LeadInclusion #EdLeaders #Teachers #EduSky #UDL
traffic light with red, yellow, and green signals is on the left. To the right, text reads, "Behavior charts are more about public shaming than self-regulation. Tear them down!" with the "lead inclusion" logo below.
🚦 We have a lot of effective methods for teaching self-regulation; humiliation isn't one of them. Let's get rid of those behavior charts! #LeadInclusion #EdLeaders #Teachers #UDL #EduSky

A yellow accessibility ramp with the text: "The more universal design for learning we use, the fewer accommodations & modifications we need to add."
🛗 Just like the ramps around us that help everyone, the more universal design for learning we put into place in our classrooms, the fewer special accommodations and modifications we need to add later. #LeadInclusion #EduSky #UDL #InclusiveEd #EdLeaders
Wooden blocks arranged as ascending steps on a black background, beside text emphasizing research-based student intervention for mastery. Logo in the corner.
Intervention is systematically moving a student to proficiency on a critical skill using a research-based practice. (Homework support doesn't count.) #LeadInclusion #EdLeaders #Teachers #UDL #SBLchat #TG2Chat #EduSky
A woman in a white sleeveless top and dark pants stands pensively against a textured gray wall, hand to forehead, with an exaggerated shadow behind her raising an arm upward in a gesture of aspiration. White text overlay reads: "High expectations and awesome instruction are a powerful combination." Bottom left: circular logo with red-and-blue equals sign and "lead inclusion."
🔑 How well #students with #IEPs succeed depends largely on the expectations teachers hold for them. Never underestimate the combined power of high expectations and awesome instruction. #LeadInclusion #EdLeaders #Teachers #UDL #SBLchat #TG2Chat #EduSky
A blue square in the background with a red rectangle in the middle and these words in white, How do you encourage learners to build trust and rely on each other?
UDL 3.0 emphasizes interdependence, not just independence.
Learning is social. Collaboration, shared problem-solving, and collective knowledge matter.

A solitary figure in a hooded jacket sits on a bench by a misty lake at dusk, framed by autumn branches and fog-shrouded forest, evoking isolation. Overlay text: "Of the 16% of students who have IEPs in our schools, most have 'invisible needs.'" Bottom right logo: circular equals sign with "lead inclusion."
Of the 16% of students who have an IEP in our schools, most have "invisible needs," making them easily overlooked. #LeadInclusion #EduSky #UDL #InclusiveEd #EdLeaders
Two people sit facing each other in conversation, with text reading: “A real conversation with a student usually yields more valid data than a formal assessment.”
Data doesn't have to mean numbers or letters. All of the information we have is data. A conversation often yields your most valid data. #LeadInclusion #EduSky #UDL #InclusiveEd #EdLeaders
A student sits at a desk looking stressed while working on a laptop, with text reading: “A grading system that persistently punishes mistakes guarantees stagnation of learning.”
A grading system that consistently penalizes errors instead of communicating progress and mastery steals the joy of learning. #LeadInclusion #EduSky #UDL #InclusiveEd #EdLeaders
A blue square in the background with a red border around the edge and a yellow rectangle in the middle with these words in white, How does your design encourage learners to enjoy and appreciate their authentic selves?
UDL 3.0 reminds us: learners bring identities, interests, and experiences into learning.
Designing for engagement means honoring that variability.
How does your design encourage learners to enjoy and appreciate their authentic selves?
