@mrmikeMTL It takes one to teach one—I teach students with learning disabilities (ADHD, dyslexia, etc.)

[Madison Gardin @GardinMadison]

@lhighfill Will do! I’ll be posting book chats throughout the week as I read the book so expect more tags!

@MissPitstick I honestly just upload the thing. Kids get a kick out of us being human.

[andrea @teachbk]

Teachers.
They want us to be professional at all times but they refuse to treat us as professionals, pay us a professionals' salary, or seek our professional expertise.

At what point do we demand more, because unless we're fully cared for, we can't fully care for our students.

[Madison Gardin @GardinMadison]

@burgessdave I think students often forget we’re people. And I think some teachers forget students are too. Vulnerability at a certain level is necessary to trust the person you spend a lot of your day with.

[Madison Gardin @GardinMadison]

My students are always shocked when I open up and tell them I have a learning disability. They can learn in an environment in which they feel safe.

@GardinMadison Powerful. Love that you share that with them.

Q1: Brain Rules by John Medina bc it teaches how the brain works and gives a better understanding of how people learn.

[Madison Gardin @GardinMadison]

Q4: some kids have to warm up to the material before they feel comfortable answering a question. Sometimes they have to see someone else validate their idea or even make a mistake and see how everyone else reacts.

Special education should be a service for children rather than a place they are sent.
