A multi-sensory approach to fluency- cutting sentences into phrases and using repeated reading to increase expression, rate, and phrasing.

Sometimes an abstract concept like identifying syllables needs just the tiniest bit of support to make it accessible. We had approximately 20% accuracy before the visual supports and 90% accuracy after.

A great big thank you to my colleague Jamie McGhee who spoke to my Assessment & Programming class last night about early intervention, a critical and valuable program in our education system.

There will be no high stakes testing this year, and yet all over America educators have continued to teach and inspire their students online. I hope the powers that be realize we do what we do because we love children and not because a test is held over our heads.

If there's ever a time that we need to focus on our students mental & emotional health, it is now. Think of everything they've endured already & its only June! Now is not the time to cut The Arts, PE, counselors! Congress needs to step up & support our schools, teachers & kids!

Special Educators: stop calling students you serve โ€œmy students.โ€ Itโ€™s well intended, but it perpetuates division and exclusion. Students you serve belong to their general education classrooms and teachers, first and foremost. (Also, saying โ€œmy babiesโ€ doesnโ€™t make it better. ๐Ÿ˜‰)

Super grateful to be back on campus this semester! We kicked our night off with a discuss about the best and worst classes we ever had. Among the โ€œbestโ€ qualities- engagement, relationships, and communication! ETSU Clemmer College

Week in Review: an afternoon drum circle & drum kit lesson, shooting hoops in the CPA, the musical stylings of Cowboy Will, and an inclusive class discussion on social media use. What a great first week with the Access ETSU program!
