; DI Landmarks
: '''The 'One-Room Schoolhouse'''' → The original (and unintentional) form of DI, where one teacher had to teach 5-year-olds and 15-year-olds in the same room.
: '''Universal Design for Learning (UDL)''' → A related framework that focuses on making learning "Accessible" for people with disabilities, which actually helps *every* student learn better.
: '''The 'Learning Styles' Myth''' → A cautionary landmark: the (now scientifically debunked) idea that people are "Only" one type of learner (e.g., "Visual"). DI is about offering "Choice," not "Labeling" students forever.
: '''Multi-Tiered System of Support (MTSS)''' → A modern school-wide strategy that uses DI to provide different levels of support to students in every subject.
