We don’t really have an #MTSS system in place if we aren’t engaged in ongoing work on universal design for learning. #LeadInclusion #EdChat #UDL #UDLchat #Inclusion #EdLeadership

Edufriends...this is going to sound crazy, but check out the Netflix show "School of Chocolate". It's a master class in assessment and feedback, flexible grouping, clear learning goals, and concrete outcomes. #vted #assessment #feedback

Pulling students from the classroom because they have a label harms a sense of belonging (and self-efficacy). There are wonderful alternates to this approach that are research based and support belonging. We all have strengths and needs. #LeadInclusion #EdChat #UDLchat #Inclusion

@ADotonMac @T_MacDonnell Welcome earthside, baby Elsie!

@scomorrison Hi! I started "ungrading" about 5 years ago and will never go back. My school uses alpha numeric gradebook so I've found ways to work within those boundaries and I've also been test piloting a proficiency gradebook within our SIS. Feel free to DM. I love to shout about this.

Moving away from harmful, traditional grading practices to an emphasis on #feedback over grading is a move toward equity. #LeadInclusion #sblchat #tg2chat #globaledchat

I am looking for recs for books from non-normative voices that represent both modern day experiences and historical perspectives in Vermont and the Upper Valley for lit circles. #vted #books #pbe

If we are having trouble with student engagement, the question is, "How can I build a better relationship with this student?" not, “How should I punish this student?" #LeadInclusion #udl #udlchat #globaledchat

If our school culture is not inclusive, it is not equitable. #LeadInclusion #equity

[Melissa Wyman @MsWyman]

Well, yep.

[Lee Ann Jung, PhD @leeannjung]

Helping students to complete assignments isn't an intervention. Intervention is systematically moving a student to mastery on a critical skill using a research-based practice. #LeadInclusion #sblchat #edchat #masterychat #AcademicChatter #ATAssessment #edleaders

Unpopular opinion-
Expectations and empathy go both ways.
Teachers, you have every right to be frustrated when your admin doesn’t act like they know what you’re going through, but it’s also important to remember they deserve the same compassion that you deserve.

🏆For inclusion to be successful, every teacher has to see themselves as a collaborator, innovator, and lead teacher for all students. 🏆 #LeadInclusion #globaled #inclusion #UDLchat

This article sums up an awful lot right now about what is about to happen to our educational systm. There is no return to normal here folks...

"Schools alone cannot fix trauma."

[Rebecca Holcombe @RHolcombeVT]

As the VT Legislature resumes (remotely, a day after kids go back to #vted lunchrooms in person w/ no case data & insufficient mitigation policy), put VT's financial commitment to a 2-generation strategy for mental health back on the policy table.
Schools alone can't fix trauma.

Students getting at their proposals today. Graphing, making professional phone calls, and editing their. Teamwork makes the dream work here, folks! #pbe #tss #interdisciplinary #authenticed #vted https://t.co/5fJQ6E9Grr

[Melissa Wyman @MsWyman]

@ADotonMac It's been almost two whole years of continuing cognitive dissonance :(. And I keep coming back to the quote on the definition of insanity: why do we keep doing the same things and expecting them to produce change? And when do we have time to plan to try new things?

💥If students stay "in Tier 2" or "in Tier 3" all year, we didn't implement RTIi. We simply tracked students. 💥 #LeadInclusion #edchat #spedchat #inclusion #allmeansall #successforall #rti
