Let Them Thrive provides parents with a practical understanding of
how education works--and how it can work better--for their
children. Every learner is as unique as his or her fingerprints.
But one-size-fits-all schooling doesn't account for those
variations. In this highly readable book (with unique cartoon
illustrations), bestselling author, educator, and parent Katie
Novak introduces the research-based framework Universal Design for
Learning (UDL). Parents learn the origins of UDL in the learning
sciences and in practice. (UDL is prominent in the federal Every
Student Succeeds Act). They also learn strategies, tips, and tools
to support their children's learning in school and in life. Let
Them Thrive is an important new contribution to the growing
literature on UDL, the first such book directly aimed at parents.
The new Every Student Succeeds Act governing K-12 education in the
United States defines and endorses Universal Design for Learning
(UDL) as a framework to help achieve greater opportunity and
academic achievement for all learners, including those with
disabilities, English learners, and "gifted and talented" students.
In this book, Novak and Rodriguez, veteran school administrators,
provide school leaders and educators with a guidebook for putting
the UDL framework into practice. They show how to guide district
and school staff in discussions around student data and use the UDL
guidelines to shape curriculum decisions. This is a must-read for
any education leader who wants to create more equitable, inclusive,
and effective learning environments.
