Every adaptation we provide for a student (or all students) is an accommodation unless the support is for the exact skill or understanding we are targeting or measuring. #LeadInclusion#EdChat#UDL#Inclusion
RTI is more about what we do in ALL classrooms than intervention. RTI first means creating warm, inclusive, welcoming, environments that deliver the best instruction and respond with intervention after instruction isn’t fully successful. #LeadInclusion#EdChat#UDL#Inclusion

If I didn't feel that way, did I even grow?
