#Spedchat Q10: What was your favorite moment from tonight? How can you use that with Ss this week?

A9: feeling engaged and feeling like you're making a difference. Shake things up, or ask others to try something new with you #spedchat

A9: The students, of course, but also the staff members who quickly became friends TOTALLY helps #spedchat
