Does your school have:
High numbers needing Tier 2 & 3 services?
Fix Tier 1
Low achievement?
Fix Tier 1
High misbehaviors?
Fix Tier 1
Low morale?
Fix Tier 1
High disengagement?
Fix Tier 1
Low growth?
Fix Tier 1
If you're tired of ups & downs, get off the ride & fix Tier 1.
Ableism is so much more than derogatory words about disabled people. It is:
Inaccessibility.
Exclusion.
Devaluation.
Segregation.
Discrimination.
Dehumanization.
Institutionalization.
Eugenics.
Subminimum Wage.
Inequity.
Injustice.
There is a thing that will:
Increase achievement,
Decrease misbehaviors,
Strengthen morale,
Lift motivation,
Close gaps,
Elevate understanding,
& improve just about every area a school can identify?
Sounds too good to be true?
It's not.
It's a Tier 1 designed for learning.
Dear #educators. The time it takes to get to know your students is invaluable & so worth the investment. Relationships are at the heart of #SelfReg! Each child is unique, and YOU can make a difference.

🧠 Teaching emotional regulation is not as simple as having an "SEL class" or relegating it to a counselor or advising. #SEL is essential to the core of our instruction every single day. #LeadInclusion#EdLeaders#Teachers#UDL#TeacherTwitter
ALL learners receive Tier 1 learning. It's where we make all the needed improvement.
If scores are dropping, if misbehaviors are increasing, if gaps are widening, if Tier 2 & 3 population is growing, then it's a Tier 1 learning issue.
We must acknowledge, accept, & act on this
