If you are a pre-service teacher and have not heard of the Universal Design for Learning (UDL) I recommend looking into it.
Here is an analogy to help you start thinking about holistic planning.
‘It has been snowing at a school and the students are waiting to enter the class. There is a student in a wheel chair. The janitor has been called to clear away the snow from the ramp and stairs. She cleans the stairs first even though ALL of the students would have been able to get into class if the ramp were cleaned first’
Here are some quick resources to start thinking about UDL.
1. Go to CAST.org
This website provides a variety of resources for teachers to ensure appropriate planning to meet all of their students’ learning needs.

From “Select, Write, and Use Metacognitive Strategies in the Classroom” (p. 173) by A. M. Babkie and M. C. Provost, Intervention in School and Clinic, 37(3).
Today I was teaching decimal fractions and created a number line using clip magnets on the white board holding three of these IKEA metre ruler paper strips.
They are free from IKEA.
It made an easy, precise number line.
School was an achievement today.
Today my prac partner was sick, so I started the day off by having 60 year four kids sitting on the carpet in front of me!
Love achievements.
