Disability Pride Month is celebrated in July to commemorate the passing of the American's with Disabilities Act (ADA), which occurred July 26th, 1990. Disability Pride is a time to challenge ableism & discrimination that people with disabilities encounter. #leadinclusion
If we are having trouble with student engagement, the question is, "How can I build a better relationship with this student?" not, “How should I punish this student?" #LeadInclusion#udl#udlchat#globaledchat
➡️ So many "special accommodations" for students with IEPs have the potential to help all students. Let's open those doors for everyone through universal design for learning. #LeadInclusion#globaled#inclusion#udlchat#udl#globalsped
✳️ Tier 3 intervention is NOT special education. Tier 3 only means intensive support. Not all who need intensive support have an #IEP. Not all with an IEP need intensive support. #LeadInclusion
Students who need intervention do not belong to special education. Not all students who need intervention even have or should have an IEP! Let's embrace the mindset that ALL students belong to ALL of us. #LeadInclusion#successforall#edchat
A reminder to all the high school seniors, while you wait to hear back from admissions: remember that where you go to college (if you go at all) is NOT & does NOT define the person you are! Finding the best fit & your passion is far more important than the name on a sweatshirt.
You must never confuse faith that you will prevail in the end-which you can never afford to lose-with the discipline to confront the most brutal facts of your current reality. -Admiral James Stockdale
