This week we covered the concept of accessibility tools and how to support inclusivity. We also watched a video tackling UDL (universal design for learning) which is a teaching strategy that attempts to improve a classroom environment that can meet the needs of each student. We followed this with a discussion that aimed to articulate the issues we run into when taking the UDL approach, as this can be very helpful in allowing teacher more flexibility with how they teach their courses but can also allow for a lack of curriculum coverage in done irresponsibly. In my opinion any form of under focused teaching will allow for redundancy in teaching therefore it is likely not a specific shortcoming of the UDL approach and more a lack of teaching effort in all regards. A teacher can use any approach and fall short of expectations if not willing to do the work needed to properly prepare their students. I personally like the UDL approach as the modernization of our world is allowing for more accessibility and UDL is simply a tangible depiction on that adjustment. The moment of the class that stuck me the deepest is the video we watched that featured students with learning disabilities speaking on how educational environments making an effort to accommodate their needs can change their lives. The perspective they share of feeling like a burden and an outsider when no effort is made to allow them to be welcome in a learning environment made me conscious that as a teacher I want to be empathetic and considerate of my students individual needs, therefore its imperative that I have discussions with my students on how I am able to make my classroom and class material as accessible as it can be.
