To celebrate EduTalk Radio joining the Be Podcast Network, we're sharing episodes from other network shows. Today is a conversation from Transformative Principal, between host Jethro Jones and guest Bryan Dean. Bryan is CAST's Innovation Specialist. Bryan has been working with hard-to-reach students with emotional impairments, conduct disorder, behavioral difficulties, and low interest for more than 20 years.

The conversation covers:
  • Giving UDL away for free
  • Building products through grants
  • People think UDL is static, but it isn’t. 
  • Identity is important. 
  • UDL is human centric, not student centric.
  • How UDL invites students to take ownership of their learning experiences. 
  • Do you feel behind? 
  • “What if I could have gone through school feeling unencumbered?” 
  • Expert Learners vs. executive functioning
  • Bounded autonomy. 
  • Assumptions about student learning. 
  • Joy Zabala - You can’t boil the ocean
  • UDL Con is an Experience
  • AI, Accessibility, 
  • UDL Guidelines 3.0
  • UDL Con - where the guidelines will be released. 
  • CAST.org - check out the projects and resources. 
  • How to be a transformative principal? Ghostwalks - walk with nobody there in your school. What is being said by what is on the walls and in the classroom.
