UDL is often thought of as a technology-based framework but to be applied successfully, technology cannot be used in isolation. This paper explores the benefits and limitations of learning management system (LMS) technology like Schoology (K-12) and Canvas (post-secondary) that can support the realization of UDL principles. If used in isolation, however, LMS may limit or even obstruct learning and become yet another barrier to achievement. This paper explores the idea that human dialogue and collaboration beyond technology is required to fulfill UDL guidelines as well as academic objectives. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/614d11711ead4a13eea12d83/f285793c-79d9-4e45-85c6-7c75fe857109/UDLcastPicBest.jpeg Research - Online learning: engaging or isolating? - Make it stand out CAST (2018).

She also earned additional state authorizations to teach students with Autism Spectrum Disorders and English Learners. Her specialty is making Common Core accessible to students in intervention and special education programs and systematically building students’ social, emotional and academic confidence. Her services are promoted by Stanford Medicine’s Early Support Program for Autism (ESPA) and by the Palo Alto Community Advisory Committee for Special Education (www.cacpaloalto.org). Ellen completed her mindfulness meditation training in Southeast Asia more than 20 years ago and was given permission to teach meditation by a Vipassana master. In Asian culture, the word “master” is a reference to self-mastery only and has nothing to do with controlling others. A Buddhist master has given up all possessions and accepts only donations, serving to preserve ancient wisdom and pass it on gently and only to people who wish to learn it. A similar word might be “maestro,” but this does not accurately capture an Asian master’s lifelong levels of extraordinary discipline and service to others, often maintained in states of extreme poverty rarely seen in the West. While not a master, Ellen strives to choose work that only helps and does not harm others. Starting in 2011, Ellen started her own business Mindful Youth teaching secular mindfulness and that same year joined Mindful Schools as a senior mindfulness instructor and program manager for in-school programs, where she discovered her ability to reach and teach students placed in ED Special Day classrooms. Since then, she has focused on developing and teaching mindfulness intervention to students of all ages and socioeconomic backgrounds struggling with behavioral and emotional regulation, and social inclusion. After years of accepting mindfulness referrals from Mindful Schools for families with special needs in the San Francisco Bay Area, she decided to make a bigger commitment to understanding her students’ challenges and earned her credential in special education. She has worked as an intervention and education specialist and as a Learning Center teacher at the elementary, middle and high school levels. For five years, from 2018-2022, her social skills programs for middle school students with HFA were sponsored by seed funding from Opening Doors PTA. Her social programs are now custom-designed with parents throughout SFBA. In addition to social and emotional development, Ms. Ellen’s tutoring programs in mindfulness meditation, mathematics, and academic writing are designed to help students better prepare for transitions between elementary, middle, high school and college and to support their success across settings. Ellen is a 30+ year public speaker performer now protected by California AI regulation. She earned her graduate and undergraduate degrees in four years at Northwestern University, completing a four-year accelerated master’s program in 1997. After completing her meditation training in Asia, Ellen worked in communications and international tourism and has explored four continents. Ellen completed her preliminary credential work at San José State University in 2017 and her California Clear Instruction Credential in 2021. During the pandemic, her programs for students in the San Francisco Bay Area expanded to include an out-of-state audience. Unfortunately, due to lack of transparent AI development using remote video and the subsequent lack of national AI regulation to protect humans who use remote video technology, Ms. Ellen has paused all her remote options indefinitely. All lessons are now in-person only. After 11 years as the owner and sole proprietor of Mindful Youth, Ms. Ellen converted her company to an LLC to accommodate more growth. Academically, she enjoys making Common Core standards in mathematics and ELA accessible to students in special education and English Learners, and stretching students socially and emotionally. Her programs are designed to build students’ confidence in their own abilities, talents and capacity for well-being in this world. https://www.ellenmccarty.com/contact daily 0.75 2025-03-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/614d11711ead4a13eea12d83/1632460357953-SKRMF2WNCI3GKBGHZPRH/MSdrawing4emc.jpg Contact - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.ellenmccarty.com/ccss daily 0.75 2025-03-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/614d11711ead4a13eea12d83/1632452746699-RPX174LNU44NTIXP4WY7/10.ODD-KindnessPractice.png Common Core https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/614d11711ead4a13eea12d83/1639880864515-YAX9D4408KLO66GP62YV/MathTutoringPicBEST.jpeg Common Core https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/614d11711ead4a13eea12d83/1639880889772-3L7NLPI0861K1HO434X6/WriteAboutReadBEST.jpeg Common Core https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/614d11711ead4a13eea12d83/1639881066242-EHOUZAUIS0D89M8LKH6E/StudySkillsBEST.jpeg Common Core https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/614d11711ead4a13eea12d83/1639881575903-CH9CGOKESPHHUW39DW5N/AcaERpicSmallBESTer.jpeg.png Common Core https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/614d11711ead4a13eea12d83/1640846944876-419A13BGEXIJIZF6SQ16/TaskCompletionNYEtrysize.png Common Core https://www.ellenmccarty.com/author daily 0.75 2025-07-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/614d11711ead4a13eea12d83/1632462230740-B4AF35M05OW0SK5D3UTV/20yearsBookPromo.jpeg Author - Author. 50% of the author’s net proceeds from this paperback book will be donated to the Burmese people (link below). Donations will support non-violent protesters as they struggle to survive and restore their democracy after a February 2021 military coup, a tragic consequence of our own American president #45 announcing to the world (and to all aspiring dictators) that elections aren’t real and can be discarded. The book’s title is a dual reference to the evolution of my meditation practice over two decades and to the 20 years of house arrest endured by Democratic leader Aung San Suu Kyi in Burma. My hope is that this book will encourage international support for Burma’s National Unity Government (NUG) made up of deposed Democratic leaders elected in 2020 including Suu Kyi who are dedicated to a federal democracy with minority rights. Note: this book is not appropriate for minors. Synopsis: When she was 23 years old, Ellen McCarty decided to face her fear of being alone and signed up for Buddhist warrior training in Southeast Asia (Burma). This story captures the myriad challenges she faced as she progressed from beginning to advanced mindfulness meditation practice at silent retreats in remote forest monasteries. This story is also about democracy and the beacon that America represents to millions of people around the world living under dictatorship. In Burma-Myanmar, decades of military dictatorship were overcome in 2007 by a non-violent protest movement led by Buddhist monks and nuns, known as the Saffron Revolution. Inner and outer liberation is the birthright of all human beings. May all people be free. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/614d11711ead4a13eea12d83/1634084958333-OMFUCLIHCHZY8FLV4XE1/NoLongerStrangersBest.png Author - Photographer. This book documents the founding of the non-profit organization Puente de la Costa Sur, which provides services and advocacy for migrant farm workers and their families on our California coast. The non-profit also promotes a Buy Local movement to support local farmers. I took these photos as a volunteer for Puente between 2002-2005 so that the migrant “men alone” could mail home photos to their families. Because migrant farm workers don’t have access to worker visas, they are only able to see their families by making life-endangering, illegal border crossings rather than simply traveling home safely after a harvest season. One of my photos was chosen for the cover photo of founder Rev. Taylor’s book. Each year, the most generous donors to Puente receive a free copy of my cover photograph, which captures the back-breaking work of migrant farm workers who put food on our tables. This book is available on Amazon and supports the ongoing funding of Puente’s programs. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/614d11711ead4a13eea12d83/1632463671044-PL17L130AJ7PB3NGUBJ0/photo-65.PNG Author - App Content Developer. For families with special needs youth living in remote areas without access to live mindfulness instruction (pre-Zoom), I wrote the content for this iOS app “Mindful Youth” which was published in 2015. Special thanks to app developer Andis Blukis and his team at Rhyme and Reason as well as the Entrepreneurs' Law Clinic at Santa Clara University for making this resource possible. After four years, Apple removed this app from its store in Jan. 2019 because it requires expensive updates. I am recreating some of my app content on my YouTube channel “Ms. Ellen McCarty, Mindful Youth,” recycling the wonderful cartoons created to express the energy of my mindfulness instruction by Latvian artist Janis Zalitis.

She has the ability to reach them in a magical way, understanding the eyes through which they see the world and creatively introducing ways to explore their emotions, ideas and interactions. She makes self awareness fun and natural, teaching with relevance, playfulness and acceptance. She can reach children who are withdrawn, angry, or overwhelmed, as well as children who will simply benefit from a sincere connection with a caring adult. Good teachers know that the best teaching tool is that of modeling. Ellen models kindness, curiosity, mindfulness and love.” -Megan Cowan, a founder and executive director of Mindful Schools https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/614d11711ead4a13eea12d83/1632626482221-WHP86V0I2Y9TFQRPREYH/Screenshot+%28745%29.png Media & Testimonials - “Ellen was a guest speaker for one of my undergraduate psychology courses The Science of Happiness. She taught a 3-hour class by guiding students through different meditation techniques, probing students for how they were reacting to the meditation and answering every question they asked. I received numerous emails from students stating that Ellen’s class was their favorite of the entire semester; one student wrote: I am totally inspired by Ellen and so thankful that you gave us this opportunity to be exposed to meditation. As an instructor for nearly seven years, I have rarely seen anyone lead a college class as superbly as Ellen did that day. I hope she will come to many of my classes to teach my students as her skills and abilities were exceptional. I would recommend her instruction on meditation for any college class.” — Dr. Ryan Howell, Psychology Professor, San Francisco State University https://www.ellenmccarty.com/credentials daily 0.75 2025-04-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/614d11711ead4a13eea12d83/1634057068489-F7YGHZJZ27TMCPOPYA44/ClearCredentialCertificate2021pic.png Credentials https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/614d11711ead4a13eea12d83/1634057351307-CPW89FAB7MX7CT601I44/Authorizationspic.png Credentials https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/614d11711ead4a13eea12d83/60d229dd-2252-4700-bc9a-34eee69d8ba1/MYNUlogofinal.png https://www.ellenmccarty.com/social-skills daily 0.75 2026-01-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/614d11711ead4a13eea12d83/1632621242534-8NGKTKPE5ILR4PN7D4RS/ODptaPic.png Social Skills 2024-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/614d11711ead4a13eea12d83/1639882014305-OACP8KNA9BBYML190XQW/ShyQuietGroupPicBEST.jpeg Social Skills 2024-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/614d11711ead4a13eea12d83/1639882211050-8D43GL52WQ4S4OBBS6F5/OutgoingGroupPCBEST.jpeg Social Skills 2024-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/614d11711ead4a13eea12d83/1639882233651-5LY3MR0WNYKUXOQU5P8B/AntiSocialBEST.jpeg Social Skills 2024-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/614d11711ead4a13eea12d83/1639882423928-G3KF92Q9XBWK9P9WXKVI/ZoombiePicBEST.jpeg Social Skills 2024-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/614d11711ead4a13eea12d83/1639882448265-N9DZD8ENSC7M53YR1RJW/MsEllenPodcastPicBEST.jpeg Social Skills 2024-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/614d11711ead4a13eea12d83/92f8ed24-a54a-4fc2-97a7-f8f77d9165e2/InkedPEERS2022LetterofThxEraseName_LI.jpg Social Skills 2024-25 - Thank you note from a tween to his whole 2022 PEERS SFBA class. — student’s name redacted https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/614d11711ead4a13eea12d83/d9f015fb-1867-4b8d-b1d4-fbde7340d230/MYrobotBinary.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/614d11711ead4a13eea12d83/1632460284443-N0QP4VQRHZXBA8EAYWFS/LorinEdenWalking.png Social Skills 2024-25 - Defining and Creating a Sense of Belonging Most social skills programs focus on conformity, or fitting in, which is not as meaningful as a sense of belonging. Ms. Ellen’s custom social skills training programs are for students who feel like they are "on the outside looking in" who want to explore social connection with a small group of peers facing similar challenges. A genuine sense of belonging is unique to each person. It requires making conscious choices about authenticity versus conformity in alignment with ones’ values while keeping options open for social inclusion across settings. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/614d11711ead4a13eea12d83/76ab5a72-445e-41a3-ae14-6854899c1ab6/BSS1podcastPic.jpeg Social Skills 2024-25 https://www.ellenmccarty.com/mindfulness daily 0.75 2025-03-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/614d11711ead4a13eea12d83/1639892294731-EO3Q1QUSHXXB5747JWLP/FamilyMYmedBEST.jpg Meditation https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/614d11711ead4a13eea12d83/1639892480051-C0W5YZYXEOST2EC0RXQ6/ADHDColaPicBEST.jpeg Meditation https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/614d11711ead4a13eea12d83/1639892581395-N4KXM3J1WCYY3F802863/Screenshot+%28892%29.png Meditation https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/614d11711ead4a13eea12d83/bd9444cf-aa24-4134-8e5f-d9607c9ff7fa/CodeRedPicBEST.jpeg Meditation - Support for students.
