DC official: "Does anything bother you?" Me: "Seeing people who make horrible, system-level decisions advance in their careers with no accountability for the children impacted and educators left scrambling." An innocent question. My response surprised even me. But it's true.

Ever wondered, “Why is this student struggling to comprehend?” 🤔 We have too. Here’s the thing: when we dig deeper, the root cause is often fluency. And when fluency improves, comprehension follows. 📚💡 Click to Listen 🎙️ shorturl.at/nhBBL

👥 Tier 3 intervention is NOT #specialeducation. Tier 3 only means intensive support. Not all who need intensive support have an #IEP. Not all with an IEP need intensive support. #LeadInclusion #EduSky #UDL #InclusiveEd #EdLeaders

What's the single best predictor of accurately solving word problems with fractions in elementary school? Whole number calculation fluency! Not language, nonverbal reasoning, or reading. Gesuelli & Jordan (2023). @NCTM @CECMembership @4ScienceofMath @math psycnet.apa.org/fulltext/202…

Partner reading and paragraph shrinking led to large effects with 86 8th graders randomly assigned to treatment or control group. Effects were regardless of student variables (EL, SPED, FRPL). @McDuesenberg @Romeromonica28 @ILAToday @CECMembership @reading_league @NCILiteracy

Great leaders don't create followers. They create more leaders. 7 signs you work for a great leader:

I’ve never endorsed a presidential candidate before. But this year’s election stands to be so enormously consequential for women and families that, this time, I can’t stay quiet. Women deserve a leader who cares about the issues they face and is committed to protecting their safety, their health, their economic power, their reproductive rights, and their ability to freely and fully participate in a functioning democracy. In this election, the contrast couldn’t be greater, and the stakes couldn’t be higher. I will be voting for President Biden. m-gat.es/4cv7SlW

🕺🕺🕺The way we deliver #intervention is identical, whether there is an #IEP or not. Research-based intervention for ANY #student who needs it. #LeadInclusion #EdLeaders #Teachers #UDL #TeacherTwitter

We are studying intervention practices in schools. If you are a practitioner who works in a school, then PLEASE complete this short survey. Thank you. @ILAToday @NCTM @nasponline @CECMembership @ASCD @NASSP @NAESP @TheNCII @MTSScenter @MTSSInnovations ufl.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/S…

🏫 Inclusive school leaders structure the master schedule to allow teachers time to plan together, and include special educators in grade-level or content-area meetings. All students benefit from the expertise of all teachers. #LeadInclusion #EdLeaders #UDL #TeacherTwitter

WestEd and the National Center for Learning Disabilities would love to hear from adults with learning disabilities (aged 18-24) about their experiences, perspectives, and opinions as they transitioned out of high school into postsecondary and the workforce. See comment for more…

📈 Most learners with #IEPs do not require modified expectations; they need support, time, and sometimes #intervention. ALL #students need high expectations. #LeadInclusion #EdLeaders #Teachers #UDL #SBLchat #TG2Chat #TeacherTwitter

"Gifted musicians in an orchestra generally do not write the symphonies they play. We do not think less of a talented actor who merely performs but did not write a Shakespearean tragedy. Teachers, by noteworthy contrast.." 1/2 the74million.org/article/40-…

🔍 Gone are the days when the purpose of #assessment was to #grade and rank #students. Assessment is part of the instructional process--#feedback is the priority, not a grade. #LeadInclusion #EdLeaders #Teachers #SBLchat #TG2Chat #TeacherTwitter
