When (and how) do I use captioning? Is there a digital alternative to paper packets? And what IS Zoom bombing? Our latest CEC Quick Take answers these questions and more as @kellygrillo & @danielgmcnulty discuss #accessibility while teaching online: https://t.co/qgRFw91xNa

We couldn't agree more! Good faith and reasonable efforts to provide access to appropriate services in light of these circumstances is a #COVID19 pandemic must for special education administrators. #WeKeepLeading @jweatherlyesq https://t.co/3XlVZTpzkR

Loved participating in this Quick Take for teachers and other service providers. Good things to think about-- student privacy and online services! @kellygrillo @CECMembership

"I would encourage those who aspire to be leaders to seek opportunities in their local or student chapter, their unit, and their divisions. They have so many opportunities and need volunteers. Everyone – everyone – has something to offer." - @mikkigar

Joint statement from @MASASupts, @MASB and @MAISA_ISDs urging state leaders to immediately provide clarity to Michiganders on what’s next for our children. Further delay creates uncertainty for countless communities across our state.
