Love #ChoiceBoards but don't have enough time to make one? 😖 Help your students gain new confidence in their choice-making skills with a “𝗪𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗥𝗮𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿?” strategy instead! 👇🏻 #EdChat #UKEdChat #AussieEd #EdChatEU #EduTwitter

A back to school shoutout to all of the unicorns working to create a more inclusive world. There are many IFs among us - this unique set of skills can be found within teachers, administrators, paraprofessionals and family members. Read more here 👉🏼 bit.ly/unicorn2022

“While 75% of teachers are women, we make up less than 30% of superintendents nationwide. The odds are even more staggering if you're a woman of color - non-white women comprise only 3% of the country's superintendencies (Superville, 2023).”

Today marks 33 years since the passage of the ADA, the U.S. law prohibiting discrimination against those with disabilities. There are great resources to mark the day and spread the word here: bit.ly/46QXu5V #ThanksToTheADA #ADA33 #ADANetwork #DisabilityPride

Today is #WorldDownSyndromeDay and this year’s theme is #WithUsNotForUs. While advocacy and acceptance around disability are important, honoring the rights of people with disabilities to be part of all conversations that impact their lives is even better!

So many of my favorite quotes and profound thoughts related to the work I do were inspired by this fierce woman. May we all continue to advocate for a world where disability is embraced as a natural part of the human experience. #LeadInclusion #JudyHeumann

This is critically important in meaningfully including students with disabilities in the general education classroom!
We rest a lot of responsibility on the shoulders of paraprofessionals but rarely include them in professional development opportunities. Let's include our paraprofessionals in training for all teachers. #LeadInclusion #SpecialEducation #EdChat #UDL #Inclusion
