Why Revolution?

Revolution

Latin: revolutio, "a turn around"

Webster has several definitions of revolution. How the word is used depends on the context of the sentence. I like this definition of revolution the best "a fundamental change in the way of thinking about or visualizing something or a change of paradigm".  

In today's classroom, we are missing the opportunity to remove the barriers that are stopping the learning of ALL students. We are not allowing the student to show mastery in the way that fits them the best.  We point the fingers at the student and the teacher. We almost always label the student and/or the teacher as the barriers to learning. We never look at the curriculum as the barrier. We do not teach the teachers how to anticipate the barriers of learning. Education needs a turnaround, a UDL Revolution.
