Classroom teachers tend to offer less help to a student who has a 1-1 paraprofessional. This disrupts the student-teacher relationship and belongingness with friends. There are better paraprofessional models. #LeadInclusion #SpecialEducation #EdChat #UDL #Inclusion

Rita Pierson famously remarked, “children don't learn from people they don't like.” They also don't learn from adults they don’t think like them. How do our words, facial expressions, and body language communicate kindness and caring? #LeadInclusion #EdChat #SEL #Inclusion

If grades were motivating, how motivated would you be by a low score day after day on your lesson plans?

Not giving students options for how they show their learning introduces significant barriers to many. HOW you show your learning isn't the same as WHAT you learned. Giving only one way comprises the validity of our #assessment. #LeadInclusion #UDL #EdChat

Intervention is systematically moving a student to mastery on a critical skill using a research-based practice. (Homework help doesn't count.) #LeadInclusion #EdChat #UDL #Inclusion

Students who feel excluded or disliked because of a difference from a majority group live with feelings of stress. This slow-burning stress over time is trauma that takes a toll a person’s health and wellbeing. #LeadInclusion #SEL #EdChat #Inclusion

The math standards are paired with the 8 mathematical practices. Students should ALWAYS be engaged in AT LEAST one of these practices. It is not uncommon that a math worksheet has zero of these.

Special education is a SERVICE a student receives. This is not a student's identity. There are no "special education students."

Our job is to teach the students we have. Not the ones we would like to have. Not the ones we used to have. Those we have right now. All of them. – at Essex, Ontario

Do we justify students’ placements in special education rooms to meet the students' needs? Or the adults’ needs? #LeadInclusion #EdChat #UDL #UDLchat #Inclusion #EdLeadership

Do our rubrics include many phrases about what students DON’T do? This is a deficit model. Our rubrics/scales should be seen as progressions from the beginning to the target. Talk about what they DID DO in each cell. #LeadInclusion #EdChat #UDL #UDLchat #Inclusion #EdLeadership

Students who need intervention do not belong to special education. Let's embrace the mindset that ALL students belong to ALL of us. #LeadInclusion #EdChat #UDL #UDLchat #Inclusion #EdLeadership

When there are fractures in Tier 1, lots of students “look like” they need Tier 2 or 3 interventions, but in fact the “intervention” should target improving Tier 1.

For teachers who are basketball fans: Paraprofessionals should use zone defense, not man-to-man. Extra hands are great! Assigning an adult to a student, not so much. #LeadInclusion #EdChat #UDL #UDLchat #Inclusion #EdLeadership
