Day 2 of the @OttCatholicSB Summer Program was a hit! Coach Kevin did a lovely wellness workshop followed by a blessed visit from @mindfulnessmeg who dug deeper into conversation around owning your feelings followed by a scavenger. #ocsbBeCommunity @StPiusXOCSB #BlackJoy

Tier 3 intervention is NOT special education. Tier 3 only means intensive support. Not all who need intensive support have an IEP. Not all with an IEP need intensive support. #LeadInclusion #TeacherTwitter #InclusiveEd #EdLeaders

Being part of a community is such an important part of the this time of year. Yesterday BSA had our last meeting of 2024 enjoying some holiday time together and laughs while watching @AbbottElemABC. See you in the New Year @StPiusXOCSB !

A little Wednesday morning PD so we can learn the best strategies to be inclusive & help all our students succeed✔️💖 @tweetsomemoore's 'bowling video' making an appearance 😁👏🏼 @StPiusXOCSB

⏳ If half the class requires tier 2 support, the school doesn't need more tier 2 #intervention strategies or programs. There's a need for more universal design. #LeadInclusion #EdLeaders #Teachers #UDL

🌟 Students with #IEPs should not have to earn the privilege to be in a general education classroom. Belonging should be the assumption, the default. #LeadInclusion #EdLeaders #Teachers #UDL #TeacherTwitter
