"Schools need to be transformed into communities where everyone belongs, where differences are accepted and membership is unconditional. Schools can and should be places that all students can love."

For many learners, social stories are a great way to directly teach expectations and routines. Autism Resource Central has excellent examples of social stories for returning to school with Covid-19 adjustments. https://t.co/GcvLFb7IFV
Going virtual/remote? Check out this resource from @CenterOnPBIS - it has an example remote learning matrix for elementary and one for secondary. Other great tips for remote/virtual instruction too.

The Center for PBIS has a created a guide for district & building leadership teams on the use of a MTSS framework to support students, families, & educators during the transitions back to school. Download this important resource and save for easy access! https://t.co/ywUm9oEjjf
Let's take a close look at your matrix. What necessary adjustments need to be made to outline new expectations? Focusing on acquisition teaching, as opposed to fluency teaching (e.g., wearing a face mask, standing on dot, etc.) will require explicit instruction.
As districts plan if and how to reopen schools, kids need safe & predictable environments now more than ever. Whether in person or virtual, visit https://t.co/rFcqO39VPm for ideas.
How might your building / district team share new expectations and procedures as you welcome them back in just a few weeks? Producing a short video modeling new schoolwide, non-classroom & classroom expectations/ rules & procedures/routines might be one way to support students.
Continue focusing on strategies to build relationships to create a sense of belonging for every student through radical hospitality, promote being socially engaged while physically distancing using a proactive approach and create spaces for students to be their best selves!
