SPECIAL EDUCATION DOESN'T MEAN THAT A STUDENT IS INCAPABLE OF LEARNING. IT MEANS THAT THEY MAY NEED DIFFERENT SUPPORTS IN ORDER TO SUCCEED. #education #teachers #leadership #sped #autism #teachertwitter

October is Dyslexia Awareness month and this is a good time to make sure your school and staff are not only aware, but also continually learning how to support this learning difference. Here are some quick start tips: docs.google.com/document/d/1…

What are your big rocks? Are you focused on them? If you are simply kicking pebbles down the road you can’t move the big rocks. Get back to the 30,000 view this week and recalibrate your vision with your team. When you spend every day putting out fires at 1000 feet it’s hard to see the progress at the balcony level and eventually you will burn out. Never lose sight that we are all teachers so move to 10,000 feet to teach because you will need help with the heavy lifting. Then move back to 30,000 and refocus on those big rocks. Don’t let yourself get caught in the fire. Time to #Recalibrate

There's been much gaslighting & moderate justifying of the new Florida social studies standards, people stating the "clarifications" were designed to show Black resilience, or were just "facts." So, I thought I'd compare the African-American history standards to the Holocaust's.

While we think recognition of good & improved attendance can be helpful, we advise against awarding perfect attendance for a semester or the school yr, since the children who struggle the most will soon be left out - Hedy Chang in a recent @edweek article edweek.org/leadership/should…

Did you know: Building daily routines early on helps students get to #SchoolEveryDay by reducing stress for students & families and creating a sense of security & safety. This can also support strong attendance for later years! Learn more: bit.ly/3U6VUqh
