Today, we're sharing 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.
