The Zones of Regulation is a great tool to teach social skills, emotion identification, emotional regulation, and it can even be paired with movement, mindfulness, and yoga practices! I have used The Zones for YEARS and absolutely love it. #SMUMNEDSE663

I've used videos from Everyday Speech that I have found on YouTube, but there is so much more with the website! If districts see the value in this and would purchase it, it would be an amazing resource for special education staff in schools!#SMUMNEDSE663

Educational equity means that each child receives what he or she needs to develop to his or her full academic and social potential.

Teaching is about more than lesson plans and standards. Teaching is about compassion, teachable moments, and overall, love — for the students, the faculty, and the profession. ❤️🍎

Jerry Pollotta's book Who Would Win? Killer Whale vs. Great White Shark give facts about the animals while encouraging the reader to make a prediction on who would win. However, the page regarding how Orcas are "stars" at aquariums and amusement parks is problematic.

The "I Survived..." series is historically accurate while also engaging! A great way to teach about the past. #CI554F17

Fairy tales often perpetuate these gender roles. How can we as educators do better? https://t.co/cEVI2BJG0n
