Some profound truth here.

"We don't have a content issue. We have a connection issue." -Brandon P. Fleming #ASCD23 bit.ly/3FkBp44

Teachers bear the critical responsibility of creating a climate that sends a clear message that discrimination is not accepted and that each student is to be welcomed, celebrated, and made to feel supported by everyone in the classroom. #LeadInclusion #EdChat #SEL #Inclusion

👥 Students who have #IEPs are not "special education students." They are simply students. They belong to every educator they have. Receiving a service shouldn't impose an identity. #LeadInclusion #EdLeaders #Teachers #UDL

This is powerful! 🧡

A Tier 1 designed for all learners to learn at high levels. That's the answer. That's the tweet

Students work harder for teachers who value, care, and respect them. And adults do, too! Relationships before rigor

Magnify excellence in others…

We must seek to understand behaviors. 🙌

When effective principals view teachers as colleagues it creates: Mutual Respect Collaboration and Teamwork Improved School Culture Increased Retention and Job Satisfaction

Cultivating gratitude in the classroom (even if it feels awkward at first!) just might result in students who are more confident, resilient, and kind. 😄

So true! ♥️

❤️ 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

"...having students reflect and ask themselves, “Is that the best you can do?” can be a pretty valuable reflection question. The highest standards we will ever attain will be those we set for ourselves." “Is that the best you can do?” buff.ly/44uYniN

New from educator Lainie Rowell: Learning is significantly more efficient when we are in a state of positive emotion rather than a state of negative emotion. Take a look at the evidence and gather a few practices for your classroom. 👀 edut.to/43B9Qfu

🏫 Inclusive school leaders structure the master schedule to allow teachers time to plan together, and include special educators in grade-level or content-area meetings. All students benefit from the expertise of all teachers. #LeadInclusion #EdLeaders #UDL #TeacherTwitter
