Huge shoutout to UA PD for visiting @TMSElementary to show 4th/5th graders how they use dogs to help keep us all safe. We loved meeting the officers and especially their 4 legged partners.
✳️Tier 3 intervention is NOT the same as special education. Not all students who need intensive support have an #IEP. Not all students with an IEP need intensive support. #LeadInclusion
Kids will remember very few rules and procedures from their first days of school, but they surely will remember whether or not they feel safe, comfortable, and welcomed by their teacher.
Focus on relationships before rules.

We can better prepare students for life by purposefully teaching the "6 Cs": character, collaboration, communication, critical thinking, creativity, and citizenship. #LeadInclusion#kidsdeserveit
#co-teaching is a wonderful tool, but it only works when there is co-planning, co-instructing, co-assessing, and co-reflection. #LeadInclusion#edchat#spedchat
Students who need intervention do not belong to special ed. Let's embrace the mindset that ALL students belong to ALL of us. #LeadInclusion#successforall#edchat
Preventing kids from checking out books because they owe fines or have lost materials is antithetical to the core mission of the library - which is to provide unfettered book access to all kids. Full stop. #readingsummit
Never forget you are not JUST a teacher. You are not JUST the math teacher. You are not JUST the art teacher. You are not JUST the phys ed teacher. You are not JUST the history teacher. You are a professional educator who cares! The system NEEDS YOU and so do our kids. Thank you!
