Rural schools often grow their best special educators from within. @UMaine's #ProjectMAINEd covers full tuition so ed techs can earn certification online without leaving their jobs or towns.

Do your local universities have similar programs?

Five rural innovators, picked from nearly 50 entries, present live at #RuralEdForum Oct 19–21. One: an Eastern Kentucky class that made computing its own through Appalachian roots.

Rural educators, what idea from your community deserves a national stage?

After-school STEM has taken off: 92% of parents say their program offers it, up from 69% in 2014.

Next frontier: rural communities, where 39% of kids do STEM after school 2-3x a week.

How is your community expanding rural access? @afterschool4all

A 1-hour listening session in Boulder Valley ran 4+ hours. It led to a parent advisory team and likely the nation's first neurodiversity policy. Now comes the hard part: daily practice. What would you want your district to hear? @The74 @beth_hawkins https://t.co/5vtQQCix1w

Special ed written complaints are up 56%, and AI is part of the story—used to prep for IEP meetings, but also cited with hallucinated case law in filings. A new CADRE guide helps parents use AI responsibly. Where's the line for you? https://t.co/UNZqcq1gS1 via @K12DiveNews

Teacher turnover is down from 20% to 16% since 2020-21, but special ed teachers left at 19% vs. 14% for gen ed, per @K12DiveNews: https://t.co/sGBzFEO3Cr Leaders: what's keeping your staff? Teachers who've left or considered it: we'd love to hear your story. #SpecialEducation

Only 14% of teachers in England feel confident across ALL dimensions of AI literacy (technical understanding, safe use, ethical judgment) per new @royalsociety research. Just 18% got formal training.

What would help your school most: PD, policy, time?

Texas is overhauling special ed funding: shifting from a setting-based model to one driven by student service intensity under HB 2 & SB 568. A structural shift other states may be watching.

How should funding models weigh service intensity vs. setting?

@MichiganEGLE just announced ~$156K in new grants for freshwater literacy — funding student water-stewardship projects and field trips to Great Lakes ecosystems for 2026-27. What field trip gets your students most excited to learn? 🌊 https://t.co/5WiwRy1cAI #STEM #GreatLakes

AI isn't just speeding up cyberattacks on schools — new research says it's now operating inside live attack chains. Different threat model for stretched-thin district IT teams.

How is your school/district responding?

Labor Day honors the workers who keep schools running: teachers, paraprofessionals, bus drivers, cafeteria staff, custodians, and front office teams.

We hope you got real rest this weekend. You've earned it. 🍂

Nashville dismantled segregated special ed classrooms — not by moving desks, but by rebuilding IEPs, co-teaching models & mindsets around inclusion. A model worth studying. https://t.co/kXoFIqGIs0 #SpecialEducation #Inclusion #K12

New federal guidance could affect special ed transition services under IDEA.

Districts can get ahead of it: audit transition plans, tighten documentation, train staff.

That's work we do every day. 👇

Reports of literacy's death are greatly exaggerated. Gen Z reading groups are popping up nationwide, and the Silent Book Club has grown to 2,000+ chapters in 68 countries. What turned a kid you know into a reader?

Back-to-school 2026: @GoogleForEdu's Gemini is now assignment-aware inside Classroom, and @MicrosoftEDU's Copilot adds a student AI coach+auto-drafted Unit Plans. AI is moving from novelty to daily workflow. How much should AI draft vs. teachers?

What's non-negotiable in your toolkit?

The average K-12 district now runs 2,591 edtech tools, per @EdTech_K12.

More apps isn't the win — the win is choosing systems that connect, cut admin work, and actually get used. https://t.co/bfsJri9B5M #EdTech #K12
