I spent last school year as the campus diag for Riverchase and LOVE this campus!! I cannot say enough great things about the students, teachers, SRO, custodial staff, front office ladies, & new principal. If you’re looking to join an amazing school family, you can’t go wrong here
We’re looking for a few wonderful people to join our Riverchase Elementary team in CFBISD. Send your resume to LaTonda Cherry: [email protected]

❤️ Students aren't manipulating adults with challenging behaviors. They are expressing, consciously or unconsciously, their unmet needs. Our job is to help #students learn to have those needs met in better ways. Empathy and compassion are the key. #LeadInclusion #EdLeaders

✳️ The primary purpose of classroom #assessment is to inform our #instruction, not to determine a grade. #LeadInclusion #EdLeaders #Teachers #UDL #SBLchat #TG2Chat #ATAssessment #TeacherTwitter

Ruby Bridges was the first Black child allowed to attend a white school on November 14, 1960. She’s only 68. Here she is with her first teacher (the only one willing to teach her), Barbara Henry. #EdChat #LeadInclusion #BlackHistory #inclusion – at Kentucky, USA

To deny expert assistance to a student in need because there is no IEP in place is to deny that student an equitable education. #LeadInclusion #EdChat #UDL #UDLchat #Inclusion #EdLeadership

“It means never turning our back on a student…it means never giving up on ANY student, because there’s an expectation that EVERY student can achieve at a higher level than ever before.” #yourstudentsmystudentsourstudents #yallmeansall #cfbsped

“Having a culture of mastery means every single person in the school embraces every student, without exception, as worthy and deserving of their best.” Excited to increase inclusion for all of our students & work towards a culture of mastery. #yallmeansall #cfbsped @leeannjung

When schools and districts place too many students with disabilities into too few classrooms, they stretch the capacity of both general and special educators and prevent them from teaching effectively. #LeadInclusion #EdChat #UDL #UDLchat #Inclusion #EdLeadership

If you see someone falling behind, walk beside them. If you see someone being ignored, find a way to include them. -author unknown #LeadInclusion #edchat #quote #motivation #SundayThoughts #edutwitter #edchat #inclusion

Helping students to complete assignments isn't an intervention. Intervention is systematically moving a student to mastery on a critical skill using a research-based practice. #LeadInclusion #sblchat #edchat #masterychat #AcademicChatter #ATAssessment #edleaders #teachertwitter

💯 A poor pass rate or low average grade is not validation of a rigorous course but instead of poor teaching and/or assessment. #LeadInclusion #sblchat #tg2chat #atassessment #globaledchat #edleadership

If local, state, and national leaders do not step up and build campaigns to support public school educators in the coming months, we risk peril to our most important foundation. This is not hyperbole. – at Dallas, TX
