Quit taking it personally. It's not about you! Retrain your brain to do the following 3 things when working with challenging students. #teachers #BehaviorChange #PositiveInteractions

One way differences could have a chance of being reconciled is to become part of the chaos of people’s lives. We might better understand how to arrive at common points of agreement, experience goodwill and create opportunities for hope

Each day we encounter those who need a helping hand, a kind word, encouragement, a touch of understanding, a piece of advice, a warning, a sign of peace, light on a problem, a prayer, support in a difficult situation. It’s within all of us to help.

⏰ The most frequent #IEP adjustment is extended time. What if we allowed additional time to any #student? Or didn't time at all? If speed isn't what we're evaluating, extended time doesn't alter the standard. #LeadInclusion #EdLeaders #Teachers #UDL #SBLchat #TG2Chat

The single most important first step to designing for equity and inclusion is deep, sustained work on the instruction that all students get in every classroom--UDL. #LeadInclusion #SpecialEducation #EdChat #UDL #Inclusion

A mentor is not someone who walks ahead of us and tells us how they did it. A mentor is someone who walks alongside us to guide us on what we can do.

Being an Educator is tough some days- but if we think of the impact that can be made we get a renewed motivation!

When students dysregulate and behave in unexpected ways, they are thinking with the emotional part of their brain at that moment. This is not a teachable moment. It is a time to connect, not correct. #LeadInclusion #EdChat #UDL #Inclusion #SEL

Make sure you are a positive influence 👇.. this affects leaders, teachers, students….

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

Students who set their own goals and get regular feedback on progress have higher levels of achievement in general, beyond only the goals they set (Hattie, 2009; Henderlong, et al., 2007). Here is a student goal setting sheet. Feel free to use. #LeadInclusion #education #edchat

People always remember how you made them feel..

Never leave a friend behind

The most common IEP accommodation is extended time. What if we allowed additional time to any student? Or didn't time at all? If speed isn't what we're assessing, extended time doesn't change the standard. #LeadInclusion #SBLchat #TG2Chat #EdChat #ATAssessment

Even in the midst of so much noise distracting us with countless calls for our attention, listening is one of the most precious gifts we can give anyone
