When we focus on teaching, we might ask:
1-What will I teach?
2-What resources will I choose?
3-What work will I give?
Focusing on learning, we ask:
1-What will they learn?
2-How will they create evidence of learning?
3-How will they evaluate their learning?

Students with IEPs are not a separate category; they are simply students, period. #LeadInclusion and #EduSky. đź“š #UDL #EdChat #TeacherTwitter

The Hockey Canada rape trial should be a reminder that consent education is lacking for all men/boys, not just hockey players.

Here's an obvious secret:
If we're not passionate, energetic & having fun while we're teaching, then the kids won't be while there's learning.
We can't expect from them what we don't exude ourselves.

“I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo.
"So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.”
― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring

Knowledge is knowing the right answer. Wisdom is asking the right question.

Teaching children how to regulate their emotions is crime prevention.
It’s addiction prevention.
It’s the path to a world where people can disagree, and still respect each other.

How often does “Explain your answer"/"Show your work” in math assessments just ask students to recite an algorithm rather than demonstrating real understanding? For that matter, how much of what preceded the assessment involved constructing meaning rather than mere memorization?

The first deck in Addition and Subtraction by Heart II focuses on adding within 20 and uses 10 frames as the visual representation. For the first few times students see a card, they can move around the counters. Learn more at fluency.amplify.com

Yes, and I propose that it challenges even those of us who didn't struggle with memorizing.
Treating math facts as a disconnected set to memorize reduces math.
Let's open math through structure!

ALT "Each one of the dyslexic mathematicians also noted that they had significant challenges in math as memorization of disconnected facts as it was taught in schools. Building mathematical understanding through "structure" ... is the way to long-lasting understanding." Rachel Lambert, Rethinking Disability and Mathematics

The kids are here!
Remember, they are not:
SPED kids
EIP kids
RTI kids
Bad kid
504 kids
"Those" kids
Low kids
_____ kids.
Kids are kids.
First, love them
Then learn them.
We don't love labels.
We love learners.
We teach learners, not labels.
Love, believe & challenge ALL kids.

There are only 2 problems with using tests to assess learning: Right answers often don’t reflect real understanding, and wrong answers often don’t reflect the absence of understanding.
(Because the kind of learning tests are designed to assess isn't really about understanding.)

Sometimes people aren’t looking for advice. With all due respect, they don’t want to hear about all the amazing stuff that worked for you or be told what steps to take. Often, they already know what they need to do but need time to process is on their own. What they truly need...
