Not all students who have a significant need have an IEP. Not all students who have an IEP have a significant need. And no one's needs are automatically long term. Intervention works to build independence in any student who needs it. #LeadInclusion#EdChat#UDL#Inclusion
Students who have IEPs are not "special education students." They are just students. They belong to every teacher they have. Receiving a service doesn't change a students identity as a student. #LeadInclusion#EdChat#UDL#Inclusion
How are you celebrating the graduation from Tier 2 and Tier 3 interventions with your students? As students meet their goals and fade from the intervention, what's your plan to recognize their achievement (and celebrate the staff who supported the progress!)?
MTSS is a general education initiative that is designed to match students’ strengths and needs with evidence-based instructional and behavioral approaches. Data-informed instruction must address a constellation of needs across the full continuum of student profiles at all tiers.
There’s nothing to lose by giving a student a second chance.
Nothing. Nada. Zilch.
There’s only the possibility of strengthening a relationship, demonstrating the power of empathy, and instilling a glimmer of hopeful recovery.
✳️ Tier 3 intervention is NOT special education. Tier 3 only means intensive support. Not all who need intensive support have an #IEP. Not all with an IEP need intensive support. #LeadInclusion#EDtwt#udl#rti#mtss
If a student is struggling academically, there is understanding that it will take time for proficiency.
If a student is struggling behaviorally, there is often an expectation of immediate proficiency.
It takes time to master any skill. ⏰
Be patient & believe in them.
With everything that teachers have gone through these last 18 months – they deserve much more than just a day of recognition.
Thank you to all the educators who do so much for our students. Your hard work is inspiring and appreciated beyond measure. #WorldTeachersDay
The truth is, you are the only person who can determine your own happiness. You have a choice. You can either choose to be offended by people’s actions, or you can choose to trust God and overlook offenses.
