Facing increasing competition, public schools are seeing the value in a customer service mindset. And, they already have more advantages than they might realize, says former superintendent Dr. Gerald Dawkins. https://t.co/gW0wFM4mQE#edchat#suptchat#k12#education
It is time we reflect that all students can participate and that meaningful participation looks different depending on the individual student. It is up to the instructor to frame participation to empower all students. #edchathttps://t.co/LxFzUENaJO
Very interesting and timely research on special classes - are they really the answer, are they universal to all learners? Research seems to suggest not. #UDL#specialneeds#edchat
New research suggests that special classes promote inclusion for students with severe needs but not for students with mild needs. There is a need to clarify who special classes are intended for and how they are operated. https://t.co/wWluBrCMl7#ESRIpublications

I #loveteaching because students keep it real. Give them time to work on something they love, they'll blow you away. Ask for feedback on top of that, and they'll tell you how to get better as a teacher. I challenge iconoclastic creatives @AndreaZellner & @budtheteacher#edchat
This is so similar to why I teach. Student need someone who believes in them and shows them their value. So many students do not have that figure in their lives and that carries over into their education. Empower your students! #langislit#eee#edchat
"I teach because my students deserve to know that they are valued for who they are and what they contribute to the world. I love to see change happen in kids' lives. That's why I teach."
