This week, I finished learning Older by Lizzy McAlpine! I used the same video tutorial and realized that I much prefer learning from sheet music! This was a real example of how, as a future educator, I must use Universal Learning Design as I teach. By presenting content in multiple ways and accepting different options of how students can demonstrate their understanding, I can keep students engaged and intrigued. As a kid, I think I fell out of love with playing piano as I didn’t like being told what to play, and having to prove each week at lessons that I had been practicing. When I got a new teacher, having the ability to choose what I was interested in made it much more fun and also easier, as by choosing the songs, I knew how they were supposed to sound. By putting myself in other students’ shoes, and reflecting on my learning as I kid, I will have the flexibility skills to meet students where they’re at and make their voices heard.
