@bona_courtney Thanks for sharing! I love that the articles on this site are easy to read, yet they provide a lot of information explaining special education laws.

@bona_courtney I love how this document is laid out for students and shows some of the key differences between high school and college. I am definitely going to save this for future use with students!

@teachergall Thanks for sharing! I love that they start these conversations at age 14, so students with disabilities and their families can begin preparing for their lives after graduation.

[Melissa Osland @MsMSchuler]

@ErinMcElligott3 This is a great resource! Is it funded by Minneapolis Public Schools? I like that it reaches the needs of students with all types of disabilities, and it provides support in many of the transition areas. Thanks for sharing!

@teachergall I have never heard of Freckle but looking over the website, it looks great! I like that it can be used in both math and ELA for grades K-12. Does this app work best only for students struggling in the areas or does it work well with all students in the classroom?

[Melissa Osland @MsMSchuler]

@bona_courtney Thanks for sharing! When I sub in the elementary classroom, I often have students ask if they can go on Prodigy during any free time. I would love to look into this more to see what types of math problems are involved.

@teachergall Hi Grace, This article was a great reminder to treat parents as individuals and equal partners. As a parent, I can see how forming a positive relationship at the beginning of the year provides a good foundation for communication if any issues arise. Thanks for sharing!

[Melissa Osland @MsMSchuler]

@ErinMcElligott3 Hi Erin, This is a great resource, and I plan on printing it out to prepare for future parent interviews. I like the different categories and variety of questions in each section. Thanks for sharing!

Many ELL families do not know their child is struggling in school due to a language barrier. Use this interpreter guide as a resource to conduct a parent interview! #SMUMNEDSE656 https://t.co/PQvH5g53mz
