Teachers spend so much time giving feedback to students, but often kids don’t internalize it. So how can we help students care about improving their skills and take time to reflect deeply on their learning? #TruthforTeachers buff.ly/4cjTpcX

@JubileeAidge @Angela_Watson @teachbk I’m the most amazing teacher on the planet, been teaching over 20 years, having ADHD and neurodivergence. So are my kids. What an awful disgusting despicable thing to say. I pray you have the day you deserve.
@JubileeAidge @Angela_Watson @teachbk I am 100% neurodivergent, but my classroom was the most structured routine based organized classroom that taught children those same skills. Be kind.
@JubileeAidge @Angela_Watson @teachbk Wow! I’m a ND teacher, and I think I’m pretty darn good at my job and so do my coworkers and students. Ss know I care about them and my hyper focus allows me to plan engaging lessons that they enjoy. Do I forget things sometimes, yep. I write lists and they remind me.
@JubileeAidge @Angela_Watson @teachbk I have every symptom of ADHD, but was never diagnosed. It makes me really good at identifying students who have similar challenges, and at giving suggestions for external executive function
@JubileeAidge @Angela_Watson @teachbk I'm a neurodivergent teacher and I teach SPED. I was just nominated for Teacher of the Year. I am great at my job because I can empathize with my students and teach them self-advocacy skills so they can be successful. Your words are hurtful and I bet your child has a…
@JubileeAidge @Angela_Watson @teachbk The best teachers I've worked with are the ones who have been through the struggle, can be empathetic to others' struggles and have strategies or are willing and able to figure out strategies with students. We are all infallible humans on this journey together.
@JubileeAidge @Angela_Watson @teachbk ND isn't all bad, some have superior time management, organization, and focus, and can use struggles with emotional self-regulation effectively to teach students how to manage their own, with excellent results. As well as being outstanding all-around teachers.
@JubileeAidge @Angela_Watson @teachbk Time management, organization, emotional self-regulation, focus: you may be surprised to find how much of an expert neurodivergent educators are in these. They had to work harder to overcome these, so can have empathy and advice for students who lack in these areas.
@JubileeAidge @Angela_Watson @teachbk Our neurodivergent teachers are some of the best teachers BECAUSE they have learned to be organized, self regulate, focus, & manage their time with their neurodiversity And kids benefit from knowing someone who can model this Teachers benefit as well We all benefit
@Angela_Watson I think there are lots of places that provide accommodations but I think it takes a really special place to be truly inclusive. I know my accommodations help massively but also know that we are a fair few steps away from total inclusion and acceptance.
@Angela_Watson What does it look like for you is the question. Then you ask for work accommodations 🤷🏽♀️. Go for it. You need the support. Ask for it!!! No one knows better than you!!
@Angela_Watson No, because I'm 99% certain that most of our teaching staff is neurodivergent. You'd have to be to have so many tasks thrown at you. None of us can stay still and the school wouldn't be able to run unless we all did 100 things a minute.
@Angela_Watson We have several neurodivergent teachers on staff, one accommodation I can think of is not requiring folks w dyslexia to take meeting notes.
@Angela_Watson Teachers are legally entitled to 504 plans.
@Angela_Watson REALLY good question. "Don't lecture all class." - Prof Dev is all dry lecture. "Don't embarrass students in class." - It's ok to embarrass teachers in faculty meetings. Diversity (accommodations) in kids is diversity in adults, but you really don't see leaders showing that.
@Angela_Watson I was a Sped teacher online and my teaching bestie had an ADHD diagnosis. Her ‘IEP’ included a sign I made for her to remind her that she was still muted. Sometimes the best accomodations for teachers come from their teaching bestie!
@Angela_Watson Have made the space I'm in accommodate me (sensory wise), but agree with another poster, what's good for us is generally good for the students. Speaking of which need to talk to admin about how difficult "speaker announcements" are for our students with autism 😉
