For school work, this latest research, including using eye tracking, shows the importance of removing background clutter. We are busy writing at the moment so a bit quiet, but there are lots of exciting new resources coming after the summer. #cvi

🏫 #Schools don't become "#inclusive schools" by #learning strategies and implementing programs. They become inclusive because the people are collaborative, caring, innovators who make it work for each #student. #LeadInclusion #EdLeaders #Teachers #UDL #TeacherTwitter

Teacher Appreciation Week can be difficult for some teachers. Some post pics of a large haul of gifts they received, while some hard working, dedicated teachers receive nothing! Don’t let gifts received this week define you as a teacher! You Rock! Thanks for all that you do!

Interesting thought

It is easier to be a student in a teacher-centered classroom and much more challenging to be a student in a student-centered classroom. And that's a good thing! #StudentLed
