Research shows the brain is far more active when we write by hand than when we type. Despite this, local authorities are spending millions on iPads for every pupilβa reckless decision amid declining literacy rates and other urgent pressures. Handwriting matters; we must not abandon it.

π Resource rooms filled with students who have IEPs but different needs are the most inefficient way to serve students. Let's provide small-group intervention on specific skills instead. #LeadInclusion #EdLeaders #Teachers #UDL #TeacherTwitter

π₯ Students who have #IEPs are not "special education students." They are simply students. They belong to every educator they have. Receiving a service shouldn't impose an identity. #LeadInclusion #EdLeaders #Teachers #UDL

π Not completing homework is not proof of insufficient learning. Thus, missing homework shouldn't be recorded as a zeroβit's simply missing data. Better, don't grade homework at all. #LeadInclusion #EdLeaders #Teachers #UDL #SBLchat #TG2Chat #TeacherTwitter

Grading w/ zeros is problematic because they are most often used to address behavior, not learning.
Missing assignments or tests doesn't mean zero learning.
Like the famous astronomer Carl Sagan once reminded us, "Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence."

Some days youβre going to be 100% warrior & some days youβll be broken. Thereβll probably be a little of both in every day of your life. Whatβs important is that you never quit trying. You keep showing up. You fight until you can stand. Donβt ever let βbrokenβ have the last word!
