The United States Government now has a project entitled RESPECT with the letters standing for:
Recognizing
Educational
Success
Professional
Excellence
and
Collaborative
Teaching
This project aims to transform the profession by involving and respecting teachers, leaders, associations and unions on district, state, and national levels. It reenvisions the teaching profession to be led by teachers since often there is a disconnect between reality and practice. It hopes to attract top tier talent to the field, look at how teachers are evaluated and supported in meaningful ways, allow the best teachers to help the most needy students, and offer the conditions for teachers to succeed with a national model and as mentors. The RESPECT Project seeks to transform the profession by honoring teacher input and experiences. Principals and school leaders would allow master teachers to be their collaborative partners. Teachers would serve as mentors who are given the time and resources to share their expertise. This project, although in its infancy holds promise for the teaching profession to be identified and looked upon with respect and for students who are educated in inclusive classrooms to receive the expertise of highly recognized staff.

This video has an overview of how students’ unique fingerprints require educators to minimize the barriers and maximize the learning with flexible curriculum that offers more than access, but challenging work that fuels all students’ interests.
Universal Design for Learning (UDL) is a way for students with disabilities to access the knowledge and skills in classrooms. The UDL principles are based upon neuroscience with a belief that curriculum should be diversely presented by educators and expressed by students in multiple ways. The universal aspect of UDL offers a broad range of goals, methods, materials, and assessments for students. Preparing teachers how to deliver the curriculum to students in their classrooms using UDL principles requires training. The Center for Applied Special Technology (CAST) offers many ideas.
