BPIE Coffee Talk Series- Specially Designed Instruction

Please join Sassafrass Moore and Ginger Manley, via YouTube, for the next talk in our series; Best Practices for Inclusive Education (BPIE) Coffee Talk Series. Each Coffee talk will bring specific ideas and strategies to encourage inclusion in our classrooms. In this brief video we will discuss what specially designed instruction, or as it is also known, Universal Design for Learning. All humans, whether typical or having disabilities have different areas where they succeed more or less than in others. Gardiner, the child development theorist studied by most teachers, created his Gardiner’s Multiple Intelligences Theory. This states that we have not one overall intellectual capacity, but multiple. It is exceeding uncommon, if not impossible to find someone who excels in all domains. As educators, it is important to mix up the instruction styles, so that all children are reached, regardless of disability, or not.
