❤️Sometimes the greatest gift you can give a person is simply to include them. #LeadInclusion #edchat #ecechat #kidsdeserveit #JoyfulLeaders

Please join us in recognizing our amazing Paraprofessionals - our schools simply wouldn't work without them! Their dedication to our students & the teachers they support makes all the difference.

⚠️ If we send all of the students with IEPs to a resource room, we force the special education teacher into an impossible game of whack-a-mole. #LeadInclusion #edchat

After listening to our Mason City Schools Student Stories today during opening day & co-teaching the concept of momentum to all of our amazing staff, I am truly inspired & reminded of how great of a blessing it is to serve on the Mason City Schools team! Join the M💚! Join #MasonMomentum

Not all your students come to class wanting to learn… but they all come wanting to belong. And when they feel like they belong… they’re much more likely to learn.

Colleges of Education: Are special education and curriculum/instruction courses still being taught by separate departments? Our grads need to be able to co-teach and differentiate. Our teacher prep model needs to change. #LeadInclusion #HigherEd #Education #EdChat

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 #SpedChat

Ohio expands assistance for students with disabilities nbc4i.com/news/local-new…

The IEP process should begin, well in advance of the formal IEP meeting, by asking the student and family to share their priorities and dreams for the future. #LeadInclusion #EdChat #UDL #UDLchat #Inclusion #EdLeadership

Sometimes connections and friendships look different, but the feeling is the same and deserved by all. Take time to jump into other’s worlds. 💚#kindessstartswithME #masonmomentum

📈 Our rubrics need to shift from being focused on what's missing to what's next. Learning progressions empower a growth mindset by focusing on what students CAN do. #LeadInclusion #EdLeaders #Teachers #UDL #SBLchat #TG2Chat #TeacherTwitter
