ABOUT SHELLEY FROM MS. MOORE TO DR. SHELLEY MOORE, PH.D. Creating Access for all Students Like many others, Shelley didn’t feel like she fit into the educational system she grew up in. After a convoluted educational journey, Shelley finally received her bachelor’s degree in special education (University of Alberta), then promptly hopped on a Greyhound bus and moved to NYC to kick off her teaching career. After two years of teaching in New York, Shelley moved again, making a home in Vancouver, BC, as a resource support teacher for students with intellectual and developmental disabilities. On Canada's west coast, Shelley received her master's (Simon Fraser University) and Ph.D. (University of British Columbia), which focused on learning about and researching inclusive education theory and practices. Her award-winning Ph.D. dissertation investigated how to support teachers to increase access to secondary grade-level academic curriculum for students with intellectual disabilities. She now draws from her experience as a student, teacher, and researcher to advocate and promote inclusion and equity for all learners. AIMING FOR THE OUTSIDE PINS: TEACHING TO THE HARDEST TO REACH The Power of Universal Design and Strength-Based Perspectives If you ask Shelley, bowling can change education. She uses bowling as a metaphor for inclusive teaching. Think of the ball as our plan and the pins as the students. Instead of aiming for the middle pins, professional bowlers aim for the outside pins. This creates a bigger domino effect and knocks down more pins with one ball. We can use bowling to help us understand a powerful inclusive approach: Universal Design for Learning (UDL)—by adjusting our approach and aiming for the students that are hardest to reach, we can meet the needs of more students. Inclusion is not a destination. Being inclusive means taking deliberate actions every day that reflect commitments to presuming competence, ensuring student agency, responding to student needs, and building identity-forming communities. This is a very different approach than the educational legacies still lingering for many students with disabilities, which often focuses on deficits, separate and self-contained spaces, and a lack of access to grade-level curriculum and high quality instruction, especially as students grow older. All students can learn—even if it looks different or sounds different than we expect. Understanding that all students can access and grow within any and all contexts is a mindset that relies on strength-based perspectives. Ability takes many forms, and everyone has something to offer. Believing and trusting in the strengths and abilities of all students enables us to find different ways to connect to and teach anyone, especially when we work together and rely on the rich expertise of the students, their families, educators and support staff, and leaders in our schools and communities.

No matter your needs, you'll find an offering that fits what you're looking for in the Outside Pin ecosystem—our team makes it all happen. WORKING TO CONNECT WITH EVERY PIN Meet the Players on our Bowling Team Shelley Moore OUTSIDE PIN Shelley has worked with students, classrooms, and schools K-12 as a teacher, leader, consultant, and coach. She is also an adjunct professor at the University of British Columbia working with teacher candidates beginning their career. Shelley holds an undergraduate degree in Special Education (University of Alberta), a master's (Simon Fraser University), and a Ph.D. (University of British Columbia). Her first book, One Without the Other, is a best seller and is a follow-up resource to her January 2016 TEDx talk. She has authored and co-authored peer-reviewed articles, and her research has been featured at national and international conferences. Shelley has been hosted on blog posts and been a guest on numerous podcasts, including Think Inclusive, Free Range Humans, The Tom Shimmer Podcast, Good Things in Life Podcast, and Let’s Talk Science. As an outside pin, Shelley, is the dreamer who thinks outside the box and is often caught wandering about, finding trouble, and going rogue. ​ When Shelley isn’t working, she is running around Bowen Island with her family: her wife Jessica, her two daughters Mette and Iben and their Irish Terrier, Ruth. Jennifer Riddel HEAD PIN Growing up in Edmonton, AB, Jennifer obtained her BSc and BEd from the University of Alberta and was a teacher on call following her move to Victoria, BC, in 2006. In 2007, she focused in on educational resource development with Open School BC in the BC Public Service. ​ During her time with Open School BC and in the Ministry of Education, she held roles including instructional designer, project manager, team manager, Director of Open School BC, and Executive Director of Online Learning and Educational Resources. ​ In 2023, after a move to the Cowichan Valley, Jennifer joined the team at Outside Pin, to support and help manage a growing business. As the headpin of business operations for Outside Pin Consulting, Jennifer holds a variety of roles, including establishing and implementing business systems, leading client relations, financial operations, and various projects, administering online courses, and coordinating live events. Jennifer, our Head Pin, keeps us all focused and on task, and has exceptional skills in creating data tables, using check lists, and reminding Shelley to pay her bills. ​ When Jennifer is not working, she is taking her dog for a walk, preferable near water. She encourages birds to make nests on her deck and will enjoy their company while looking at the sun rise eating blackberries. Cream in her coffee is a must and so is crafting and jewellery making while her wife cheers for the Toronto Maple Leafs (preferably in a separate room). Kayla Shand PINSETTER Kayla, born and raised in Southern Alberta, now resides in Edmonton, AB. Her educational background includes a Bachelor of Management from Concordia University in Edmonton. She spent 10 years as a recruiter in the energy sector and has been working for Outside Pin Consulting since 2020. Her roles on the team include contract management, liaising with clients, invoicing, and administering bookings. Pinsetter Kayla keeps us all in line and makes sure we get up after we fall down! She keeps everyone in the know on important updates and deadlines. She is excellent at reminders and keeping meetings short and to the point! ​ When Kayla is not working, she is watching reruns of Ted Lasso and hoping Carlos Sainz beats Max Verstappen in the next F1 race, which all happens in-between managing her beautiful twins busy schedule! She loves when her husband cooks and appreciates a good blanket. Pineapples will always bring her a smile and a week at the beach will bring her sanity. David Andrew BALL RETURN David is a lifelong resident of Edmonton, Alberta, with a Diploma in Business Administration and Management from NAIT and a Certificate in Adult and Continuing Education (CACE) from the University of Alberta. His role at Outside Pin Consulting includes video editing for Shelley’s virtual sessions and additional technical support. David is the ball return on our team because we throw anything and everything at him and he always send its back in a timely, organized, and reliable way…the total opposite of Shelley. When David isn’t working, he is refereeing football games dreaming of one day making it to the CFL. He is a diehard Nintendo Lego Indiana Jones fan and spends many hours or strategizing way to enroll his children into sports that will increase the likelihood of them going to the Olympics.

I kept asking myself, "But how will this look?" and imagining it to be impossible, but by the end of the workshop, I could see how to break it down and implement it from a group needs perspective. Thank you for this great insight! - Workshop Participant BRIDGING THEORY AND PRACTICE An Engaging Keynote Experience for Your Educational Community The Evolution of Inclusion Calibrating our understanding of inclusion today is critical to inclusion’s success. This session guides participants through the evolution of inclusion over time through humour and real life stories. Why Does it Matter to You? In this session, Shelley shares her own story of inclusion as a student, and how her experiences have impacted her to do the work she does today. She connects her story to current understandings of inclusive education and reflects on how we all need to shift to increase inclusive access for students. Designing for Diversity How we understand inclusion is shifting. Rather than trying to include a few students who are different, we are striving to teach TO the difference. This session we will consider how we can integrate multiple inclusive frameworks that might guide collaborative teams to design for diversity, rather than retrofit for deficits. Getting to Know Students from a Strength-Based Perspective How can we respond to student needs without looking at their deficits? This session will look at individual and class dimensions that can be used for planning and advocacy from a positive and responsive perspective that reflects student identity and contribution. Supporting One, Supporting All The Inclusive planning process is aiming to situate Disability as an identity, not a deficit, and so to determine what supports and strategies students require, teams are shifting to look at needs, instead of disabilities, as a reference point. In this session we will connect to Universal Design for Learning principles and look at how we can plan for a student with a disability, in ways that can support many students in a classroom.
