Really enjoyed this book - "Just Tell Them" by @MrZachG - so many great nuggets to help you focus your classroom on students' learning. Good explicit teaching is highly interactive and fast-paced - the exact opposite of how it is often portrayed.

FC is dangerous, rips up families and don’t forget it steals the real voice of the facilitated. @FCisnotScience
RFK says that profound #autism can destroy families. It can.
But RFK had also said that a quack intervention in profound autism shld be “celebrated like the 4th of July.” That treatment, a variant of FC called “Spelling to Communicate” has destroyed more.
