I wrote this for new Special Educators a few years ago and it still gets a lot of traction, so I thought I should share it for any Ts getting ready for their first year....or second...or third: #spedchat #globalsped becketthaight.com/2017/07/01/let…

What is Working Memory? I took a training I gave and put it into YouTube for posterity. #WorkingMemory #LearningSupport #Memory youtube.com/watch?v=UxJPUd…

@anniecp Thanks! I'm just glad I can contribute to the dialogue. Hopefully public ed will make some changes

Special Needs Isn’t a Life Sentence empoweredteachermag.com/iep-to-incarce…

@MegynKellyShow I've noticed the past few weeks that seemingly all the male guests interrupt you repeatedly. I keep thinking if they do it to you, it really must be rampant in this world. I'm awake!

@mrs_ambre_lee Thanks. It's a win-win. I love to create, but it's hard to find the time and the inspiration. Here we go!

@BeckettHaight Awesome idea 😀

6 week no missing work/perfect attendance challenge. Custom shoes in the school's colorway. Anything to help these cats through the pandemic! #AF1 #DistanceLearning2021 #Customs

@anniecp Thanks! It's my first custom shoe, so I am growing. I already have like 3 more ideas for different designs, so the next one will be even more fire....as the students say these days :)

@StephDill92 Yeah they did half the math, but..... I guess their glass is half full at least :)

@BeckettHaight So thankful the IEP program we use does the math for us. I used to have to do the math.

Who said you don't use math as an adult? Doing an IEP I had the SpEd min's...and % of time in #SpEd... But needed to know total weekly min's at the school. #equations I feel like a beast!

@MsBteacherlady @echamblet It can be really good. The average school takes care of u a lot and it's weird to come back to the states. I just came back after ten years abroad but think I may go back again in like four years..... Only tip is to do ur research. Use international schools review

@echamblet @BeckettHaight 🙏🏽

@MsBteacherlady @echamblet Hey. That's cool. I used the ISS schrole site and a lot of ppl use Search associates. Number three might be Tie.com....the int'l educator. There's also a couple FB groups for black int'l Ts or POCs that I'm a part of but I don't have access to FB right now.

@MissShanksClass Chromebooks?! Yikes. I'm using one now just to see what Ss are using, troubleshooting, etc. and they are....I think my smartphone has more processing power! But in a pandemic, they are working out better than nothing I guess...

My Distance Learning...more computers than human beings in the classroom! #covid #GlobalSPED

@MissShanksClass That's too true. I don't know where things are at right now cause I'm new to the district, but when I was last in LA that was definitely a reality.

I had my eval mtg. today and told my supervisor I want all the Ss on my caseload to pass... ... I'm walking down the streets tonight and realize what I really think is I don't want my Ss to become homeless. Am I allowed to say that, or is that too real? #spedchat

Can Executive Function Skills be a School-wide Focus? buff.ly/2NX8nwh via @NBPTS / @BeckettHaight

@JohnMcNaught1 @Dr_Landmark Ah you taught me now! I've only edited the body of the message. Need to play around with the subject too... More expeditious at tines

The new learning/re-learning never stops.... DISORDER OF COGNITIVE ABILITIES - UNCONDITIONAL EDUCATION unconditionaleducation.org/1/post/2016/10…

@Dr_Landmark I have Outlook for Mac and you can edit your messages in Inbox. So instead of noting something down, or forgetting what I'm thinking when I flagged it, the ideas are right there! I also highlight important stuff from an email for quick reference later.

Some podcasts ask their guests what their super power is. Mine is annotating emails in Outlook for Mac. I never stop loving this hack! #TechTips
