Drug-Free Detectives
Narrator Voice: Now for another episode of the Drug-Free Detective.
Detective: Just another day at the track watching the races. [Engine Vroom] What a nice day. [Phone Ring ] Wait, it's the be-safe cell phone. I'd better answer it quick. A man, lighting a cigarette, next to the woman in the baseball cap? I'm on it. How rude, giving yourself and your girlfriend lung cancer. The adrenaline rushes through me. [Heart Beating] I scan the crowd quickly, spot him, and make a mad dash with limited resource. "Wait" [Striking a Match] "Stop." [Water splash]
Man screams: "Ahhh“
Detective: Trust me, sir, being covered in Sprite is better than being diagnosed with lung cancer. [Crickets Chirping] Maybe I made a bit of a scene this time, but it's important you know how bad cigarettes are for you.
Narrator Voice: Just another day in the life of the Drug-Free Detectives.

London by William Blake
I wander thro' each charter'd street,
Near where the charter'd Thames does flow,
And mark in every face I meet
Marks of weakness, marks of woe.
In every cry of every Man,
In every Infant's cry of fear,
In every voice, in every ban,
The mind-forg'd manacles I hear.
How the Chimney-sweeper's cry
Every black'ning Church appalls;
And the hapless Soldier's sigh
Runs in blood down Palace walls.
But most thro' midnight streets I hear
How the youthful Harlot's curse
Blasts the new born Infant's tear,
And blights with plagues the Marriage hearse.

London by William Blake

How the Chimney-sweeper's cry
Every black'ning Church appalls;
And the hapless Soldier's sigh
Runs in blood down Palace walls.

How the youthful Harlot's curse
Blasts the new born Infant's tear,
And blights with plagues the Marriage hearse.
I Walk Alone by Green Day
I walk a lonely road
The only one that I have ever known
Don't know where it goes
But it's home to me and I walk alone
I walk this empty street
On the Boulevard of Broken Dreams
When the city sleeps
And I'm the only one and I walk alone
I walk alone
I walk alone
I walk alone
My shadow's the only one that walks beside me
My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
'til then I walk alone

London's Boulevard of Broken Dreams
I walk a lonely road,
The only one that I have ever known,
And mark in every face I meet,
In every cry of every man,
On the Boulevard of Broken Dreams,
I walk this empty street.
But most, through midnight streets I hear
My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating,
Blasts the new-born infant's tear,
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me.

Brainstorming Trailer: Dred Scott, the Movie
Dred Scott was a slave who appealed to the Supreme Court in 1856 to be freed. Scott’s case was based on the fact that he had lived in states and territories where slavery was illegal. The court ruled that Scott could not be free. The Supreme Court ruled that all blacks, slaves as well as free could never become citizens of the United State. The case and decision brought the plight of slaves to greater national attention and fueled abolitionists.

But some battles need to be lost, so the war can be won.

Daniel Pink and Thomas Friedman on Globalization and Education
Friedman : The assignment can be: “Mash these two together.”
Pink : And these kids get mash-ups
Friedman : Oh, they get mash-ups. They do it naturally. And today, he who mashes best will mash most and be wealthiest.

An Overview of Universal Design for Learning (UDL)

UDL in Plain Language Think of a teacher who communicates clearly, sparks student interest, and cares about every student in his or her classroom.

Give that teacher the tools and encouragement to do all of these things better and then make this a systematic model for a school. This is UDL

UDL is… A set of research-based guidelines for curriculum development. Guidelines that focus on: Multiple means of representation— what is learned Multiple means of expression— how it’s learned Multiple means of engagement -- why it’s learned

--Arne Duncan, US Secretary of Education Letter to Congress Introducing the National Educational Technology Plan http://www.ed.gov/technology/netp-2010/letter-secretary “ The model of learning described in this plan calls for engaging and empowering personalized learning experiences for learners of all ages...It calls for using state-of-the-art technology and Universal Design for Learning (UDL) concepts to enable, motivate, and inspire all students to achieve, regardless of background, languages, or disabilities.” A National Imperative: National Educational Technology Plan

In Higher Education UDL is also a significant part of the Higher Education Opportunity Act (HEOA) of 2008, which is the reauthorized Higher Education Act of 1965 (HEA).

NOTE: The difference between UDL and differentiation UDL works on curriculum from the ground up. It's bigger, better, and more ambitious. Differentiation makes adaptations to the existing curriculum, without demanding the curriculum changes for all students.
