Ensure high expectations and engaging learning experiences for all students
Providing all students with authentic experiences focused on strengths and learning progression—not deficits and gap filling—can change their trajectory. It’s time to use strategies typically reserved for advanced and gifted learners to advance all students’ learning.
Designed to support equitable access and opportunities through rigorous and engaging assessment, curriculum, and instruction, Accelerating Learning for All, Pre K-8, provides strategies to move all students towards becoming independent critical thinkers and problem-solvers—a goal that should not be contingent on background, assessment performance, or zip code. Packed with evidence-based practices and culturally responsive teaching methods, this book includes:
- Strategies to support diverse learners and develop student voice
- Support for social emotional learning
- Tools, prompts, and exercises
The current educational environment is ripe for change. Authors Mc Kinney and Urlik help teachers put equity into action with strategies proven to deepen and accelerate learning for all.

Om författaren
Colleen Urlik, Ed D, holds her doctorate in Curriculum and Instruction from the University of Denver and is the Principal at Hulstrom K-8, the Adams 12 Five Star School District’s magnet school for Advanced and Gifted Learners. She has been in education since 2003 in various roles, beginning as a classroom teacher, working with traditionally marginalized students, where her passion for equity and inclusion developed. Dr. Urlik stepped out of the classroom to become an Instructional Coach, then after several years entered into school administration as an Assistant Principal and now Principal. As a K-8 Principal, she focuses on providing a safe environment for teachers and students to take risks and grow while advocating for high expectations, equity, access, and inclusion for all. Her goals include involving educators’ and students’ voice at the building and program level, working with students and community, and partnering alongside educators as they continue to learn and grow in their abilities and confidence to support all students. Dr. Urlik acted as President for the Colorado Association for Gifted and Talented for several years. In this capacity, she stepped into nonprofit leadership, including but not limited to collaborating across the state to impact policy and legislation and supporting and organizing large scale conferences, statewide student events, and a variety of learning events for families and educators. She presents professionally on a wide variety of topics, including leadership, curriculum and instruction, differentiation, and family engagement. Dr. Urlik is a founding partner of Rising Tide Education Consultants LLC.
