❤️ 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

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

To all my educator friends, THANK YOU for making a difference for students today! Your teaching changes their lives and your love will change their whole world.

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

.@3jstone is a tremendous leader of deep compassion and strong integrity. It has been my honor to work with her and her team @RichardsonISD. My niece teaches there and it’s a great district. dfw.cbslocal.com/2021/12/13/…

Hey @3jstone, all day this is the quote that comes to mind when I think of you - “it’s not the critic who counts…it’s the [wo]man in the arena.” I hope to be like you in all my endeavors. You are unlike any other in all the best ways!

Trust doesn't develop from always doing the right thing.
Trust comes from taking responsibility when we do the wrong thing.

⏱ Resource rooms filled with students who have IEPs but different needs are the most inefficient way to serve students. Let's provide small-group intervention on specific skills instead. #spedchat #allmeansall #successforall #inclusion #edchat #globaled #inclusion #UDLchat
