On today’s episode, we will be talking with two knowledgeable women from the Parent Education & Advocacy Leadership Center (aka PEAL Center). Mary Hartley, Executive Director, and Cindy Duch, the Director of Individual Assistance, have such amazing insight on how valuable parent collaboration truly is when working with schools. Today’s episode will not disappoint as we discuss variability and how it empowers extraordinary.

Today's episode dives into defining learner variability. Andrea and Breanne will discuss the importance of creating our classroom lessons with the 4 pillars of learner variability in mind: student background, social emotional learning, cognition, and content. They'll also show you the Learner Variability Navigator, which is an exceptional tool made just for educators to help develop a learning environment that is personal and meaningful. This tool provides research-based supports for the whole learner that will help educators create better learning experiences. There is a Learner Variability Teacher Guide that offers step-by-step information to make the process as easy as possible for our educators who are overwhelmed and feeling the pressure of meeting all students' needs.
