What if every educator implemented positive greetings at the door? 20% increase in academic engagement & cut disruptive behavior in half. Four components: 1. Authentic greeting, 2. High interest entry task, 3. Precorrection, 4. Brief restorative conversation. @CharacterStrong

💥Our IEP meetings should not be about what's wrong. They should be about what's possible. Strengths and interests! 💥 #LeadInclusion #globaled #inclusion #UDLchat

Does your school have a Portrait of a Graduate or similar document? Please share a visual or link by replying to this tweet. Thank you in advance for sharing. #edchat

When determining IEP goals, the question we should be asking is, “What will change this young person’s life?” #LeadInclusion #edchat #edleadership

It’s not the kids I’m worried about. It’s the teachers who hold them.
The more time I spend with teachers, the more I am convinced that I’ve never seen so many of them this tired, this unseen, or this concerned about our kids. Our teachers are hurting.

The purpose of pedagogy is to elevate student VOICE while cultivating critical consciousness and confidence. It should NOT be to slow drip endless facts, condition students to compliance, diminish their ways of being & learning, &/or engage in spirit murdering (@BLoveSoulPower).

Restorative practices only work when there is a community to restore. Relationships are the fabric of a community. What can we set ASIDE to prioritize building deep relationships and strong, vibrant communities right now?

A few things I know going into #2022:
🎯We can’t standardize the human experience.
🎯 Any data system organized around hierarchy is inherently racist and can’t be trusted.
🎯 Children and grown ups need time and space to heal right now. Healing enables learning.
