    My introduction to CAST and the UDL framework was from Dr. David Rose while I was working for the National Education Association. David was trying to help us convince Congress and the U.S. Department of Education that to meet students' needs best, educators needed to understand how students learned. I was intrigued by the potential impact of UDL. When I retired from NEA, I was fortunate to join CAST as a UDL Postdoctoral Fellow and subsequently as the Director of UDL Implementation and the National UDL Center.

    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.
