UDL Math!
I am super excited to share a article I wrote proposing UDL Math. It is published in the September issue of Teaching and Learning Mathematics K-12. You can access it here for NCTM members and below for those who are not yet NCTM members. I have long wanted to develop…

13 thoughts on math teaching and intervention as we enter the 2021 school year
I have trying to write this post all summer. Each time I try, I want it to be more focused. Yet each time I revisit this idea I feel there are more things to add! So here we are, with the cumbersome number of 13 thoughts on math teaching as…

Research Breakdown: What is different in math research for students with and without disabilities; an article that took 8 years to get published!
To call this a new article is a bit of a stretch. I first started writing this article in 2013. I planned to write a Research Commentary for JRME (a fancy math ed journal) on what I saw as the stark differences between 1) math ed research and 2) special…

Research Breakdown: Teaching Math to SwD during Emergency Remote Teaching
Just uploaded a preprint (before peer review, so not final!) of a study I did this spring with Rachel Schuck, a doc student at UCSB in Special Education. I was working on a research study on UDL with some exceptional special educators. After schools were closed, some of the teachers…

The basic idea is this: why is intervention in mathematics always focused on content. Could we also design intervention in…

Research Breakdown: “Indefensible, Illogical, and Unsupported”; Countering Deficit Mythologies about the Potential of Students with Learning Disabilities in Mathematics
For over two years, I have had a word document on my computer entitled, “Myths in Teaching Mathematics for SwD.” I kept adding bits of writing, particularly when I encountered another myth. Imagine my excitement when Jo Boaler sent out a call for a special issue of Education Sciences on…

Disability, invisibility, and equity in mathematics (part one)
A recent post by my friend and colleague Andrew Benjamin Gael rightly critiqued the recent NCTM conference for omitting disability in current calls for equity. The recent Executive Summary of the Principles to Actions doesn’t mention disability or special education at all. Andrew asked why, and then went on to…
