Did you know that October is Disability History Month? This month is dedicated to honoring the rich history and accomplishments of individuals with disabilities. CEC works every day to create an inclusive future for children and youth with disabilities and/or gifts and talents.

We need to pay teachers as if the future of our Nation is in their hands – because it is.

As a new school year begins, I wanted to share some advice for students heading back to school. Remember to always be yourself, try your best, and never be afraid to make mistakes. I believe in you and can’t wait to see all that you do this school year!

A truly powerful moment in my journey was getting to meet Ms. Viola Fletcher, radiant at 109, the oldest living survivor of the Tulsa Race Massacre. As we held each other's books, I felt the power and gravity of the moment: They want to hide a history that we are still living.

Policing Black women in the workplace under the guise of professionalism must stop. The question isn’t whether Angela Bassett should have clapped; the question is, who claps for Black women? Read @msolurin & @leahfrombklyn's article here: teenvogue.com/story/angel-re… #BlackWomenLead

@CommPlaceGR Yes 🙌🏾

BREAKING NEWS: The Supreme Court has ruled unanimously in favor of Miguel Perez, the deaf student who was denied accommodations and language access in school. This is a landmark decision for students with disabilities & their families. #Disability #SCOTUS pbs.org/newshour/polit…

Students who have IEPs are not "special education students." They are just students. They belong to every teacher they have. Receiving a service doesn't change a students identity as a student. #LeadInclusion #EdChat #UDL #Inclusion

It’s SEL day! #SELday

I’m so grateful for @shane_wiegand and @KishaMorgan100 for giving me the education and tools to teach our local history accurately, with the Anti Racist Curriculum. My 4th graders are fully engaged and the discussions are incredible!

"Slavery is the institution that made racism a part of our nation’s foundation." This NEW article provides recommendations for parents about discussing the history and legacy of slavery along with age-appropriate information to emphasize in conversations.lfj.pub/3RELvRR

"But truly restorative practices can’t be instituted overnight. They require a foundation of inclusion and trust—and experts say it’s vital that educators understand the steps, structural change and coalitions it takes to get there." learningforjustice.org/magazine/sprin…
