    When Dr. Emiliano Ayala and I launched our U.S. Department of Education-funded "Ensuring Access through Collaboration & Technology" project in 2005, we were inspired by CAST. We adopted the UDL framework to work with hundreds of faculty to redesign courses applying the UDL principles. Most faculty do not have a formal background in effective teaching or learning science.

    I always looked to David Rose as a mentor and joked that I needed a necklace with a charm on it with a rose! One of the earliest analogies I used to explain UDL was using a collection of heels from my collection. I said that the goal was to get from Point A to Point B, but everyone had to choose a pair of heels to accomplish the task. The purpose was to demonstrate the importance of flexible methods and that simply having a choice doesn't eliminate barriers. Years later, David Rose reached out and said, "I got you a present!" He shared a calendar of the most beautiful heels in the world as an homage to one of my first analogies about UDL and as a lover of heels! It really spoke to the power of connection and the human element of teaching and learning that has always been and will always be the heartbeat of pedagogy.
