When I think of inclusive education, I see, hear, think, and feel many things. One thing I know, is that inclusion in education is critical for ALL students. What do you see, hear, think, feel, and know?

During this COVID-19 outbreak, I have recognized my privilege to be able to access goods on demand. However, please know that as you stock up on supplies (unnecessarily) there are folks waiting for a paycheck to be able to buy their regular groceries and feed their families.

#WLUEU415I has really opened my eyes to the importance of inquiry and how we need to disrupt what students believe school is. Students should not always be rewarded for playing "the game of school" if deep learning is not the focus.

[Dan Taylor @dtaylortec]

Today in #WLUEU415I, we discussed the benefits of project based learning, but also that there is still a time and a place for teachers to run the lesson. Teachers should always strive to own the learning that is happening, despite the importance of self-directed inquiry.

[Dan Taylor @dtaylortec]

5 Practices for Science Discussion is a great resource to show teachers that there is a fine line between guiding group discussion and activities and taking over or intervening in them. Teachers must make connections clear to students and help them ask good questions. #WLUEU415I

[Dan Taylor @dtaylortec]

Inquiry in a classroom does not ALWAYS need to be these large scale projects. Inquiry can be done in one lesson, as long as students are driving their own learning and learning essential skills that transcend disciplines. #WLUEU415I

[Dan Taylor @dtaylortec]

I learned today in #WLUEU415I that effective communication starts at the ear of the listener. Students need to learn how to hear feedback without becoming defensive and immediately responding. Active listening and putting feedback into action is crucial to learning.
