Universal design for learning includes "thinking about what has to happen at the level of (course) design that makes accommodation less necessary." The article has some interesting things to say about the affective level of "requests for accommodation."

Lots to think about in the difference between the labels of "gifted students" and "bright adults" (and perhaps most importantly, the reminder to think about the needs of individual people).

Francis Su's examples from this address are all specific to the field of mathematics, but his threads of play, beauty, and truth seem to apply to all fields, and his challenges about justice and love clearly apply to the entire educational endeavor.

"Maturity" is a complex topic in brain development. I liked the claim in the original article that "most neuroscientists are typically focused on the "journey"... more than when a brain reaches a particular "destination."" If parts of the brain are still maturing at 30, what does that imply about education?

"By carefully considering what our syllabi are for, what they should include, and - most essentially - what they really communicate to our students, we can create a document that does a significant amount of heavy lifting for us. That document articulates a set of promises about what the course can do for students when they accept our invitation and take ownership of their learning in this collective enterprise."

There's a basic point here that it's useful to have a set of quick prepared remarks to encourage students to buy in to a new teaching approach. And perhaps some of Dr. Felder's specific language might be useful to you.

Terrific way to frame technology use and non-use in the classroom. "Instead of imposing restrictions about what they can't use, invite them to have an experience that can't be had through the use of technology." Also a very good rundown of other writing about the pros and cons.
