I teach Biology and Basic Chemistry at Whippany Park High School. I have an major in Biology and a minor in Chemistry. I received a Masters in Education through the RTC program. I teach honors classes and basic level classes with an in class support teacher. I am very interested in finding new ways to facilitate ALL my students. I am currently landscaping my backyard and this is the current project. Any gardners? I am open to all suggestions.

What is UDL? UDL is REE (Representation, Expression, Engagement). Words that mean UDL to me are informed teaching or research teaching, transformative, not uniform or fundamental shift. It requires a teacher to design curriculum rather than to deliver curriculum. It also requires teachers to use multiple techniques to get to know the student. Once student needs are identified, planning begins. Hopefully frameworks can be created for each of my units so that I can tweak as I go along.

This is an incredible library resource. You can get lost in this one, bring snacks. @http://www.sdst.org/shs/library/
