One of the questions that i had about about the UDL is if the UDL was a nation entity or if it went by state to state. Throughout my research i was able to find that it is in fact a national entity that also has the support on congress, and has their own "task force." This task force helps implement the new rules or regulations into the schooling of every child and was even mentioned at the senate HELP committee meeting.

 I had no idea that this organization was so well established and nationally recognized that it had ties with senate and congress and influenced what changes needed to be made within school systems nationally. I love learning about organizations that you have never heard of, especially when they are doing this as high up as congress and also helping school systems to become a better place for everyone. I have a new found respect for the UDL, and the work they do behind the scenes outside of the lime light.

One thing that i read during my pintrest adventures was that when it comes to promoting a healthy culture in the class room, it is something that is strictly on the teacher. When it comes to teaching in America i know its something that needs to be done because of how diverse of a nation we are. One of the things i really enjoyed about this article was that it really simplified things for me. I am not an education major, however this article made it so i could understand how this is a real problem, and also understand that it is something that i could do. It made me realize the real challenges teachers face behind the scenes. I know when i look at a teacher, all i see is someone who is going to teach me the lesson plan, not someone who is worried about me being comfortable with my history and background in the class. It is a real eye opener to what some of the stresses are for teachers, it boils it down so you can understand there is much more at play than just the teachers lesson plan, but her plan to make every child feel like their important and wanted in class. I know dating back to when we were learning about children at risk, that i did not think that this would have something to do with keeping a diverse positive attitude. It is something that i feel will be able to help keep kids in school if it is properly utilized.
