🗣️ We all know "class participation" usually means "speaking up." But speaking up isn't the same as engagement. Let's be inclusive of those who are more introspective, #introverts, those with social anxiety, and those uncomfortable speaking up. #LeadInclusion #EdLeaders

❤️ When #students dysregulate and exhibit unexpected behaviors, they are thinking with the emotional part of their brain at that moment. This is not a teachable moment. It is a time to connect, not correct. #LeadInclusion #EdLeaders #Teachers #UDL #TeacherTwitter

📍 Often we guess what will work for a student during IEP planning. Why not involve the student and ask them? Let them steer the IEP. #LeadInclusion #EdLeaders #Teachers #UDL

Shout to children & teens with IBD who overcome shots, infusions, blood draws, belly pain, staying close to a bathroom, and colonoscopies and are still rocking it in school, music, sports, theater, art, tech, & volunteering. You amaze us and we have your back! #WorldIBDDay2023

Did you know that summative assessments don't have to be a formal test or project? Our informal conversations can also be used to summarize learning. #LeadInclusion #SBLchat #TG2Chat #EdChat #Assessment #Inclusion #ATAssessment
