Day 2 of our social media campaign on #JordansPrinciple is all about the backlog. Today we're sharing what we know about the "queue", determination timelines, and a status update on how many requests are in the backlog.

Universal Design for Learning (UDL) requires both firm goals AND flexible means. Without firm goals, students may not fully grasp the purpose of the options we design, making it challenging for them to become agents of their own learning and meet academic standards.
ALT Simply providing flexible means does not create a universally designed learning environment

🌎 This year, World Water Day and Earth Hour fall on the same day—reminding us of the power we have to protect our planet. From conserving water to switching off non-essential lights at 8:30 p.m., small actions add up to a big impact. @ocsbECO #ocsbOutdoors #ocsbECO
