Special education is a topic that's largely foreign to those who are not directly involved in it. Beginning on May 13, EdWeek's special report on special education will shine a light on the realities of students and teachers within this sector.

A3 #WhenKidsCantRead is directed by IF-But-Then thinking: IF students can do this, BUT need help with this, THEN help them with this and read these chapters . . .

Devastated! My heart cries for those students and teachers. Hugged my kids tighter today as they went to school. We need to eliminate the powers that be who chose the right to arms over the lives of children. Enough!

When acquiring a language, listening vocabulary precedes reading. This is just ☝🏼reason why reading aloud to Emergent Bilinguals is important!

.@sramosABC speaks to dual language expert @JoseMedinaJr89 about destigmatizing Spanglish, challenges some Latino kids face for being unable to speak fluent Spanish.

The pandemic has been grueling for everyone. While educators aim to work with strength, passion and resilience, we must be mindful that students can’t learn and educators can’t teach to their best ability when they are anxious, stressed or depressed.

Expect IEPs of the future to build on digital innovations that arose from last year's abrupt pivot to online learning.

We've got tips on how to navigate them. 📝 https://t.co/HCDozObBVr

[NYC Public Schools @NYCSchools]

UPDATE: This year, many @NYCschools students are learning remotely, but @NYSEDNews has required that exams take place in-person in school buildings. These State exams, for Grades 3–8 ELA and Mathematics and Grades 4 and 8 Science, will not be administered remotely.

Project-based learning will be key in post-pandemic education and the work to close achievement gaps. #SXSWEDU

[Suzanne D. @Day29HMH]

Motivating as well.

[HMH Education @HMHCo]

Representation matters. In terms of engagement and retention, it’s essential for students to connect to the content being presented to them. #SXSWEDU

[Suzanne D. @Day29HMH]

Great support for multilingual learners. https://t.co/9ohBTKi52I

It’s the little things that matter most. So relieved to have a president that is a true working man like us , not a narcissistic elitist. The swamp has been drained! #POTUS #DrBiden

Interesting Read. The focus should be this: “trends toward using school to help students make an impact on the world around them as well as building on the interests of students to leverage learning.”

[Pedro Noguera @PedroANoguera]

We must start thinking about how to make education better when schools reopen. “Has the Pandemic Ushered in New Norms in Education? https://t.co/6drczs0Tzz
