The success of inclusion depends more on what classroom teachers do than on what special education teachers do. #LeadInclusion #UDL #InclusiveEd #EdLeaders

[Sarah Evanson @MrsEAedInnovate]

The week in review…every morning, the students in Ms. Polista’s class at Fisher Middle review the classroom behavioral expectations and then host a dance party! These routines maximize the learning that follows. #internationalteachers @gcschools @GCS_SpecialEd @PJFMSPrograms

Fantastic reminder @gcschools principal/IC meeting today that if you want there to be growth in ALL Ss, you need to include ALL experts. Special educators have far more impact on Ss outcomes when they are included & AT the table for PLCs and really all planning! #SharedOwnership
