June 3, 2021 was the official launch of my newest book UDL and Blended Learning: Thriving in Flexible Learning Landscapes, and I had the pleasure of collaborating with Dr. Katie Novak on this project. We combined our expertise on Universal Design for Learning (UDL) and blended learning to write a book designed to help teachers develop a mindset, skillset, and toolset that allows them to thrive no matter the educational setting–in class, online, or a blend of the two. Explore how you can universally design blended learning to remove barriers, provide firm goals with flexible pathways, and cultivate expert learners who are motivated, resourceful, and strategic!
Katie and I asked educators to submit their questions about the book! Below we answer some of your questions!
A Quick Introduction to the Book
You can listen to my podcast conversation with Katie about Universal Design for Learning here!
How Do I Make Station Rotations Work With UDL and Blended Learning?
If you want to learn more about the Station Rotation Model, here are a collection of blogs I’ve written about it!
How To Get Your Team Onboard with UDL and Blended Learning?
Looking for a book study title for your staff?
Each chapter of the book ends with a summarize, reflect, and discuss section perfect for a book study! If you are looking for a summer book club title for your staff, you can submit a request for a bulk order (10+ copies) using this form!
If you have questions, you can post them here, reach out on Twitter, or send me a message on Instagram!
The Station Rotation Model and UDL: Elevate Tier I Instruction and Cultivate Learner Agency is available now! I’d love for you to check it out, share it with a colleague, and let me know what resonates most with you. If you have any questions about the book, please post a comment!
School leaders interested in using the book for a staff-wide study can place a discounted bulk order for 10 or more copies. If you and your teachers need additional support, I offer customized professional learning that is hands-on, practice-based, and tailored to your team’s needs. Together, we can support your teachers in developing their UDL practice, differentiating instruction more effectively, and elevating Tier 1 instruction. We can even utilize the Station Rotation Model to create space for Tier 2 support and Tier 3 intervention within general education classrooms. And, we can explore how this model can help us position students as active agents leading their learning!

How do I get a copy just for me?

I’m all in philosophically. Will this book help me figure out how to do this in my single classroom?
Hi Kerri,
Katie and I focused on telling stories and sharing strategies and concrete examples! I generally focus on strategies and resources in my work. I like to take ideas and explain how to put them into practice, so I think you’ll find it does more than “make a case” for UDL + blended learning. Our goal was to help teachers understand how to design and facilitate learning using UDL and blended learning!

So excited to get started with this book as a summer reading for our Instructional Technology Coaches!
Excited to get started with this book as a special project with a group on sustained technology integration at my school. Can you please tell me the bulk order pricing? Thanks!

Hi Shannon,
Pricing depends on the number of licenses you want to purchase. I do not handle sales on my courses, but you can complete this inquiry form. Someone will contact you to discuss pricing.
Let me know if you have any other questions about the course.
Take care.
