What do gluten-free chips, high-protein bagels, and Universal Design for Learning (UDL) have in common? They’re all about meeting everyone’s needs, and that’s exactly what former middle school teacher turned tech coach Kyle Niemis is passionate about. In this episode, we break down the real classroom implementation of UDL, point out the differences between UDL and differentiation, and talk practical grading strategies that won’t break your brain. Plus, we take a tasty detour into food metaphors, BBQ negotiations, and the ultimate tortilla debate. (Team corn, for the win!) This episode will leave you full of fresh ideas and hungry for more. Buen provecho!
