🌈 Not all students who have a significant need have an #IEP. Not all students who have an IEP have a significant need. And no one's needs are automatically long term. #Intervention works to build independence in any student who needs it. #LeadInclusion #EdLeaders #TeacherTwitter

#FWISD D/HH, O&M, & VI professionals collaborated with @ESCRegion11 to support babies, toddlers, & their families with sensory development. It was amazing to see them in action⭐️

While we all demand excellence, we also need to model a growth mindset and build a culture of caring and empathy.

A necessary and important aspect of our job as leaders is to coach our staff and work with them to improve.

Greg Abbott is trying to defund our schools with a private school voucher scam.

Not on our watch.

Today I joined my colleagues to introduce the Fully Fund our Future Act which will invest in ALL students and give every teacher a $15,000 raise. #txlege

Adults can reframe children’s challenging behavior in a way that strengthens the relationship.

[Lee Ann Jung, PhD @leeannjung]

We have to validate our students' emotions before we offer guidance. During a time of an intense emotion is not a teachable moment.

@ESCRegion11 @venus_isd @decaturisd Way to go Dr. Morgan. Well deserved!

Too often, practices are followed because they were followed before.
Sadly, the current model was not built for all students, and “freezing” there leads to the continuation of inequitable and exclusionary practices and systems.
