I remember a kid who was lightening fast once I took the time component away. I threw away my Mad Minute book that day!

I have created a student friendly version of Fiorella & Mayer's Generative Learning using the ideas from @EnserMark @greeborunner and @SFL2326 . This will help students structure their independent study over a 3-4 week unit of work. Please RT if you would like a copy #edutwitter

parental choice -an exercise in “parental concession” – conceding the rights of their child to an inclusive education to an education system unwilling or unable to transform itself into a system that is accessible to all children which accommodates their diverse functional needs

[Cátia Malaquias @CatiaMalaquias]

Sharing for families - our children with disabilities deserve so much more, and while we have to make pragmatic decisions based on flawed options available to us, we have a right to quality info and a duty to our children not to act on myths & assumptions

I don’t have special needs.
I am not special needs.
I am a disabled person.
My needs are human.

Ramadan is not just about lack of food & drink dawn to dusk.
Ramadan is patience.
Ramadan is empathy.
Ramadan is humility.
Ramadan is gratitude.
Ramadan is charity.
Ramadan is the spirit that seeks the best in ourselves & finds the best in others.
#Ramadan

I don’t believe in “bad kids”. I believe in struggling kids, confused kids, overwhelmed kids, terrified kids, and kids who need explicit skills instruction and other supports in order to successfully meet my expectations. I believe in kids.
