Podcast: Creating Opportunities for Authentic Engagement

I had the pleasure of being a guest on the SEL in EDU podcast with Krista Leh and Craig Martin. SELinEDU Podcast is stories and insights from outstanding teachers, administrators, leaders, and more on all things SEL in education. This podcast is a collaboration between Pennsylvania ASCD and Resonance Educational Consulting. We had the opportunity to chat about what UDL is and why it’s important, but also about effective math instruction and some changes in philosophy and pedagogy.
