Defended my dissertation and officially Dr. Miranda!

Excited that my qualitative study was recently published in Behavior Analysis in Practice! This study asked preschool special education teachers about their perspectives of preference assessments and its use in classrooms. Link Here: link.springer.com/article/10.100…

Feedback drives learning. Grades are just data reduced to symbols. And those symbols can disengage, disempower, and discourage learning. We need to be grading less--a whole lot less. #LeadInclusion #FeedbackFirst #Assessment #EduSky #UDL #TeacherTwitter

Great job, Dr. @davidraymiranda, on successfully defending your #dissertation titled "Go Play: Identifying Student Preferences to Increase Engagement.” Congratulations! 👏 #BoilermakerEducator

Writing and editing manuscripts is not my favorite thing in the world.... so I am pairing them with All You Can Eat Tacos

You know the phrase, "If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all"? Today I heard a new version of it that I want to use to help teachers with behavior specific praise: "If you have something nice to say, say it"
