Hello all, On this page, if you like, please add a little about yourself.

Here is my model.

My name is Kathy Howery. I live in Edmonton, Alberta. I am married and have two daughters who are currently attending the University of Alberta. As of last year decided to take the leap and attend with them. I am currently doing my PhD in Special Education and Technology. My research at the moment is looking like it will be much less "special ed" and much more investigating what UDL looks and feels like in classrooms so that we can better understand and evaluate implementation of UDL. I am very interested in using a developmental evaluation approach in work. I have worked in the area of Assistive Technology for over 25 years with the past few years focusing on systems change and policy development. It is my belief that we need more information on outcomes and benefits of personalizing learning, leveraging technology, differentiated instruction and universally design learning environments (resources, learning outcomes and assessments) for all students including those with disabilities and those who are struggling due to current environments and practices. I hope that together we will share our experiences, successes and challenges in developing accessible, engaging and challenging learning experiences for every student!
