You must have 1 representative in your district who acts as a 504 compliance officer. #Section504 #SpecialEducation

You can't deny an evaluation due to other processes (RTI, MTSS, etc.) if you have a request to evaluate. #Section504 #SpecialEducation
Individuals with addition who are in recovery qualify for protections. This does extend to those not in recovery. #Section504 #SpecialEducation
Conditions have to be considered in an unmitigated state. If a student has learned behavior modifications (students with #Dyslexia), you have to look at that student as how they function w/o those modifications. #Section504 #SpecialEducation
If a condition lasts more than 6 months, it is considered a qualifying disability if it substantially limits major life activity. Think concussions. #Section504 #SpecialEducation
If you are using federal funds, you have to make it accessible to individuals with disabilities #Section504 #SpecialEducation
504 compliance has 4 pages while IDEA has over 600 pages. #Section504 #SpecialEducation

This is also true for teachers.
If we are really to be student centered we have to put aside our biases & our beliefs about how things should be done and LISTEN to kids. 🌟 #edutwitter #pln
Feeling disheartened. I have finally learned my lesson that passion does not lead to leadership. It just makes you a gnat to the system.

"The art of math lies in the creativity of the brain." I love that quote.
Doing mathematics with just pencil and paper is historically—hence, pedagogically—important. Almost all of the deep insights into numbers and geometry occurred without calculators and technology. The art of math lies in the creativity of the brain.

We have to make sure that just because our students are #EnglishLanguageLearners that we do not discount #Braille for their literacy when their preferred font is so large. Saying it will be "harder" for them is not a reason to withhold #Braille.
