When we begin with the mindset that our goal for student success includes all students, we can do amazing things without relying on sending “special” students to “special” places to learn. https://t.co/ttRy7BYwrl via @InclusionOne

@LisaB_Sunrise @Kmmorley107 Love this Mrs. Buchanan. Holding students to high expectations is a necessity. ♥️ #Sunrisechat4

@jmtownse I started a jar called “I wish my teacher knew” that students can put anything into, as long as they put their name on it. It reminds me to take a minute to reach out to every student that has something in there! It’s been eye opening!

A3: incorporating universal design for learning in my lessons has greatly increased student engagement and understanding #sunrisechat4

@Maautrey14 @Kmmorley107 Yes high expectations for every student is a non negotiable!!

[Jessica Townsend @jmtownse]

A2: My classroom volunteer and I eat lunch with a few of our students daily. This allows us to have conversations with them and build relationships. My volunteer also speaks Spanish and often translates for my ELL students during lessons to increase understanding. #sunrisechat4

[Mary Ann Autrey @Maautrey14]

@Kmmorley107 In order to ensure that all students have equal opportunity to work through grade level academic standards I provide choice of engagement, representation, and expression. In addition I make sure to set my expectations high. #sunrisechat4

[Jessica Townsend @jmtownse]

@Kmmorley107 A1: VCS grade level modules allow me to teach my students in VE Mild the same whole group lessons they would receive in the gen ed setting. I provide accommodations, modified pacing, and scaffold levels of support to meet their learning needs.

My leaders saw a need and did something about it! We had lots of fun sprucing up our inclusion garden this afternoon! @Sunrisevcs

VCEC is proud that the teachers and leaders at @volusiaschools are not letting labels define who they are! #seetheable
