Thank you Gov. Mills for having the strength to speak out.

This is going to be a podcast you should be sure to follow and give a listen to! Can’t wait for the first episode!

Great to see you!

The White House has already started moving forward with a bill to terminate the Department of Education (see the introduction of H.R.899) www.congress.gov/bill/119th-c... There isn’t much of a description or plan, but I can only imagine what’s to come. #EduSky

Right back at ya!!! 🫶🏻

If you’re not following @allmeansallpodcast.bsky.social, don’t wait! I love their podcast, especially this latest episode, featuring @mmatp.bsky.social, focusing on the importance of connections & building a #PLN which has been essential for me as an AT Specialist. #allmeansall #atchat #CommunAT

Agreed!

Excellent reminder. I once had a convo with a teacher who was resistant to accommodate her assessment. I asked her to define what she was truly “assessing”. Was it the students’ knowledge of content, how she could better plan/design instruction or the format of the test? She needed time to reflect.

Students who have IEP’s are not special education students. They are simply students.

Every student requires support and accommodations in one way or another. It is important we see all of our students as individuals and presume potential in order for them to succeed. #EduSky #EduSkyChat #ATChat #AllMeansAll #InclusionMatters

New York Times article about dyslexia screenings being covered by private insurance companies. The section that says “listen to this article” is circled

The real win is that NYT has built in text to speech on their website!

Finally a step in the right direction!

If a student is having trouble with an assignment, the goal of intervention time isn't to get through the assignment. The goal of any intervention is to improve the transferable skill that is at the root of the challenge. Homework help isn't intervention. #LeadInclusion #EduSky #InclusiveEd

WE DO NOT "DO" INCLUSION "FOR" PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES. RATHER, IT IS INCUMBENT UPON US TO FIGURE OUT HOW ALL THE THINGS WE DO CAN BE INCLUSIVE. LISA FRIEDMAN; REMOVING THE STUMBLING BLOCK

Reframing our view point on inclusion and removing ableist mindsets helps to develop inclusive habits that become part of everyday way of life. #EduSky #EduSkyChat #ATchat #AllMeansAll #InclusionMatters

Love all of the latest updates, especially the background remover tool and the monthly activity calendar! #EduSky #EduSkyChat #ATchat #alttextchallenge

Same here Wendy! So much work needs to be done to properly prepare and educate our post secondary students to support all learners.

Absolutely! It feels so empowering to be accepted as we are and celebrated for the big and small things!

Green flags in people: • They celebrate your wins • Remember small things about you • They respect your boundaries • You feel energized after seeing them • They listen without being defensive • They allow you to be fully yourself • They make you feel safe • You don't have to watch what you say • They support your goals @herpsychology

A3: I’m thankful to work with many incredible teachers who despite our struggles continue to always do what is best for children. I’m thankful for my supportive family & of course for this #CommunAT that I am surrounded by. I’d also say this platform which has invigorated me! #EduSkyChat

A1: I try my best to not look at work emails when possible. Easier said than done though! #EduSkyChat

Agreed! Glad to see you here!

Can’t wait to hear what you think!!!

Just watched #OutOfMyMind. What a beautiful journey sharing the complexities that so many people w/ disabilities face daily. It serves as a healthy reminder for all that disability does not equal inability. Would love to hear others feelings & take aways below. #AllMeansAll #atchat #InclusiveSkyChat
