No system of interventions can make up for teaching students below grade-level in their core instruction. Additional time and support must be provided in addition to—and not in place of—access to new grade-level essential curriculum.

We have to adjust the mindset and the perimeter before we tackle the floor plan #learningspaces

📝 Let's stop grading and start reflecting! Reflection is a powerful tool for learning and growth, and it allows for a more personalized approach to assessment. #ReflectionForLearning #PersonalizedLearning #AssessmentForGrowth

To summarize some of the vast research on reading instruction & intervention, the brilliant @burnsmk1 thought of meta-analyzing studies from meta-analyses. Effects sizes below. W/@KellyBCartwrig1, in special issue edited by @kymyona_burk & @janhasbrouck

Kids coming to the room aren't...
SPED kids
"Those" kids
Tier kids
Bad kids
"So-and-so's sibling" kids
RTI kids
MTSS kids
Low kids
Or any other kind of kid.

The kids coming to us are learners.
ALL of them.
We teach learners not labels.

If we believe otherwise, shame on us.

Is there a theme here?

Percentage grades FEEL objective because they involve math. But a percentage doesn't communicate learning well and is no more objective than a teacher's judgment. #SBLchat #TG2Chat #EdChat #Assessment #Inclusion #ATAssessment

[Lee Ann Jung, PhD @leeannjung]

There are no “special education students” or “Tier 2” or “Tier 3 students,” and students are never exclusively “yours” or “mine.” Every student in the building is our student first and foremost. #LeadInclusion #EdChat #UDL #UDLchat #Inclusion #EdLeadership

If I have a concern about something at my kid’s school… I should:

A. Post about it on social media

OR

B. Contact someone at the
school who can actually do
something about it

(I’m gonna go with B!)

@Joe_Sanfelippo Thanks for hitting it out of the park today with our PCSD staff on Lead From Where You Are! Simply a great way to start the year with your message. Glad you could return to where you got a chance in this great community and school district! Brene rocks though!

[JRG @jrgrac]

Amazing day for our Welcome Back with 600 plus staff! Outstanding performance from our talented kids with This is Me followed by returning PCSD educator/now superintendent in Fall Creek, WI with Dr. Joe Sanfelippo. https://t.co/IsftlVlMTE #RaiderStrong @pcsd

If you are wondering why we have a teacher shortage, how about this fact for a start from the @washingtonpost; Average weekly wages of teachers increased just $29 — repeat, $29 — from 1996 to 2021, compared with a $445 increase in weekly wages of other college graduates.
