Encouraging communities to reimagine special education so that it works for all students, all educators, all families and all policymakers.

@TimShriver @elonmusk Let’s please include developmental disabilities and actually, any disabilities!

[JackBeNimble @JBNimbleOrg]

@usedgov If a student with disabilities requires assistance recording their response to a test (or an in class or homework assignment) because they lack fine motor control, is giving them that help considered discrimination? Does it give them an unfair advantage?

[JackBeNimble @JBNimbleOrg]

@aebrennen Adorable!

so was Moses (Black) BTW 😊😊😊
and Jesus was JEWISH!
Merry Christmas & Happy Chanukah & Joy filled Kwanza and Love to All regardless of religion or non-religious.

We are all connected, at a minimum, by having our feet touching the same planet.🌎

@justinbathon @LuSettlesYoung @Neomia18 Per KDE policy students with disabilities are not allowed to have the support of their IEP in a dual class taught outside of their high school. This is a problem which must be fixed.

[JackBeNimble @JBNimbleOrg]

@justinbathon @LuSettlesYoung @Neomia18 What can we do to support more students with disabilities accessing dual credit?

[JackBeNimble @JBNimbleOrg]

@Think_Inclusion A great IEP is not great if it is not implemented with fidelity.

[JackBeNimble @JBNimbleOrg]

That's the beautiful thing about universal design ("UD") for education! It benefits ALL students and their educators. Let's make UD the standard. @KyDeptofEd

🧵 @KyDeptofEd began a dyslexia study in 19-20.

The 3-yr study evaluated the impact of Tier 1 structured literacy on children with characteristics of dyslexia.

TLDR: Teachers said it made their instruction more effective — for all kids.

[JackBeNimble @JBNimbleOrg]

Students with disabilities need mental health support too & per OSEP it does NOT have to be on their IEP! Contact us for the letter. @COPAA @EdTrust

[Chiefs for Change @chiefsforchange]

Our board chair @SAISD_Supt says @SAISD will use federal #Covid aid to provide robust mental health supports for students; increase instructional time; hire more teachers; reduce class sizes; and help kids recover over the next several years. @CarnegieCorp #CarnegieForum

The best teaching strategy is to show grace. The best classroom management tip is showing your kids grace. One of the best ways to build relationships is to show grace. The best teachers show grace. Showing grace is always the right decision to make.
