ESBOCES Board Members visited Premm Learning Center’s Kindergarten Center this week. The center opened this school year and houses nine kindergarten classrooms for students with special needs - seven are Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) classrooms for autistic students.

The students in Allison Rosso’s class at PLC are learning vocational skills. They care for the classroom fish tank and house plants, and sell items from the school snack cart. Here, Mikayla uses an adaptive device attached to a switch, which enables her to water the plants.

Let’s counter this bullshit Republican talking point right now- Retweet this if you don’t have college debt but are happy for the people who are getting some help with their student debt.

To all the teachers, in case no one has told you yet, thank you. Thank you to teachers and educators everywhere. Thank you for showing up, for gracefully helping our kids through each day, and for all the work we don’t see. You are true heroes. Thank you for everything you do.

Yesterday, my dog Milo ran away from our Airbnb in Joshua Tree. He’s a black shiba inu wearing a red collar. I know it’s a stretch but if anyone could retweet this it would mean the world to me, thank you!

Each class at Premm Learning Center selected a Jewish American to study and created a display in the hallway filled with images and information about that person’s life and accomplishments. Every class then toured the building to view their schoolmates’ work. #TransformingLives

I Need to remember this as a mom not just as a teacher!
Our perception is not always their reality. Their reality is what matters. It’s the pathway to healing. #JoyfulLeaders

When we label people or communities with certain terms it narrows perceptions, reduces people to problems, and perpetuates systemic oppression. The first step in changing our mindset is to change our language. The words we use form the way we think.

Ready for a paradigm shift? Many students with behavioral disorders also have an expressive or receptive language disorder. Students who act out may not be trying to get in trouble. But, they may be trying to communicate a need.

If a student says they need space sometimes they actually just need some space.

All behaviour is a communication of need. All of our educational establishments should be basing their work around this. Or at least getting some form of training to understand and support this!
