There is no formula for writing/recording/communicating info about young people in a trauma-informed way but TheInnovateProject research helped us identify some helpful things to consider. Check out this amazing graphic @MichiMathias created to help us share our learning 👇

❤️ Students aren't manipulating adults with challenging behaviors. They are expressing, consciously or unconsciously, their unmet needs. Our job is to help #students learn to have those needs met in better ways. Empathy and compassion are the key. #LeadInclusion #EdLeaders #UDL

🌍 The single most important first step to designing for #school #equity and #inclusion is deep, sustained work on the instruction that all #students get in every classroom--#UDL. #LeadInclusion #EdLeaders #Teachers #UDLchat #TeacherTwitter

🌍 When we ignore differences that are a part of #students' identity, it's like saying, "I don't see you," or "I'm uncomfortable with who you are." Ignoring differences, like race, neurodiversity, language, gender, isn't the route to an #inclusive climate. #LeadInclusion #UDL

"I always liked the idea of learning through play," teacher Fiona Medley says. "When we explore vocabulary through movement, the smiles come out a lot more, and we have a lot more fun." #MakingLearningMorePlayful with The LEGO Foundation

✨ #Students with learning differences should be graduating and on track by the time their senior year arrives. If they aren't, we need to examine our data and identify the gaps. #LeadInclusion #EdLeaders #Educators #UDL #TeacherTwitter
