Educators across the world are working to design individualized instruction that empowers every student to become experts at learning. Technology and instructional interventions designed to support students with disabilities often eventually become mainstream and used by the masses. These practices provide a pathway for designing inclusive, equitable, and accessible educational experiences that meet the needs of every individual learner.

Chris and AJ speak with authors Christopher Bugaj, Karen Janowski, Mike Marotta, and Beth Poss about their new book, Inclusive Learning 365: Edtech Strategies for Every Day of the Year.

Discussion Points:

  • Inclusive vs Assistive
  • The shift in the mindset that occurs by exploring a different practical, inclusive strategy each day and infusing these strategies into everyday practice.
  • Explanation of how to use the strategy to design inclusive educational experiences.
