Another heart warming day talking about inclusion in Catholic schools! I spent the day with the FIRE affiliates in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. It was a quick day trip… But worth every mile! #inclusionmatters #PIE @ACEatND @FIREdupinKC @FIREneiowa

#BrainBreaks aren’t just for young students! Try one of these activities to help teens relax, refocus, or re-energize. 🙌

Michigan is doing good things!! On Friday, I shared at the first inaugural Michigan Catholic Schools Full Inclusión Conference. Over 130 educators from 34 schools attended seeking more information about inclusion. Wow…warms my heart! #inclusionmatters #PIE ⁦@ACEatND⁩

Happy PI(E) day! Math can be an obstacle for struggling learners. At the Program for Inclusive Education (PIE), we believe that everyone can learn math. Let us teach you evidence-based strategies so learners can overcome obstacles and be ‘math people.’ https://t.co/926LI7QgCp

Vocabulary is critical to student comprehension at all grade levels and subject areas. Because students’ vocabulary skills vary, it is important for teacher to explicitly teach words and word-learning strategies.

Self-assessment doesn't replace the need for assessing student work or providing feedback, but it empowers students to drive their initial reflection and compare their performance to predetermined criteria.
Shift from teacher-led to student self-assessment

One-size-fits-all reading methods puts pressure on teachers to do most of the work - trapping them at the front of the classroom to read out loud, ask questions, and paraphrase critical passages. Learn how to shift to a student-led approach to #reading

Day 2 at SJHS in Natrona Heights, PA working on UDL to support all learners. Great students…great staff and faculty…great things happening here! #inclusion ⁦@ACEatND⁩

Igniting student passion by engaging them, making learning authentic, and making students realize, that even when their lights are out, somebody out there has a match. My greatest goal as an educator, of both teachers and students, is to be that person.

[Katie Novak @KatieNovakUDL]

Next time you find yourself reviewing a standard, don’t jump to a quick conclusion about how your traditional assessment is the only way to measure progress. Instead, ask, “Is there any other way my students could show me they have met this standard?”.

Accommodations and scaffolds aren’t just for students receiving special education services. Accommodations can make learning accessible for all students. Accommodations are about providing an environment and scaffolds that support growth and meet students where they are.
