🗣️ 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

📍 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

IT'S THAT TIME! We plan to roll the big 3 (Torino, Nagano, Sochi) tonight, and open for Rock skiing tomorrow (November 18) at 8am. Rock Skiing is early season skiing, when the base has not fully formed yet. Rock skiing is not recommended for beginners.

Please don't remove students from physical education, music, Arts, or other classes to remediate them in other areas. These classes are just as important for overall education and may be their favorite classes and one reason they like school.

It’s time for the forgotten student voice to return and be visible in every IEP and in every classroom. IEPs are to be done with students and for students, not to them. #LeadInclusion #EdChat #UDL #UDLchat #Inclusion #EdLeadership
