When there’s a foundation of trust, hard conversations aren’t hard conversations. They’re just conversations.

At least that’s what I believe.

Anyone who thinks required assessments and universal screeners are a good idea for school should have to come and sit with a class of five-year-olds trying to take an online assessment.

Research shows that kids with dyslexia learn to read better when they are explicitly taught the ways that sounds and letters correspond. In fact, the research shows that teaching reading this way is good for all kids. https://t.co/fml4zwMchH

A coronavirus test that costs less than a Big Mac meal has gotten emergency authorization by the FDA. Abbott's 15 minute test - that doesn't need to be sent anywhere - may help the U.S. find its new normal. https://t.co/K9M0dEvov6 via @business

Classroom Tip

* It’s not about HAVING the ideal rules posted!

* It’s not about HAVING the right consequences

IT’s About HAVING RELATIONSHIPS!!

You know why? The more you CONNECT the LESS you CORRECT! It prevents behaviors from occurring 😉 #MTSS #edchat #JoyfulLeaders

I'm comfortable giving a student who needed 4 attempts to master a skill the same grade as the #student who only needed 1 attempt.

'If' a student learns is more important to me than 'when.'
