We need more of this at the post secondary level of education to meet the various need of students. Accommodations equal immediate wellbeing and future success. Providing notes, modified assignments to a struggling reader is no diff than providing eye glasses to someone else.

@MrZachG In 5 years of IEP meetings, with my kid basically flat at an end of Kinder level in 4th grade, why didn’t anyone tell me to give her phonics? It was never suggested! She’s a stroke survivor. Why weren’t they doing that from Day 1? Why did it take Sold A Story for me to get it?
I’ll say it again. If the decisions being made impact you, you should have a voice in those decisions.
Panels talking about teaching should have some teachers on them.
My first bill, the School Meals Expansion Act, would help reduce student hunger. No child should ever go hungry in the richest country on earth.

🧵 @KyDeptofEd began a dyslexia study in 19-20. The 3-yr study evaluated the impact of Tier 1 structured literacy on children with characteristics of dyslexia. TLDR: Teachers said it made their instruction more effective — for all kids.
In general, I am against parenting advice. But if I was forced to give some, I only have one thing to offer: it has to be *their* dream.

Did you know that the physical environment of a classroom impacts its culture and student morale? Many teachers take great care to create a space that invited relationship & learning. Share a pic in the comments 📸 edutopia.org/blog/the-physi…
Occasionally educators will ask me why I do the work I do, beyond supporting educators to simply be better versions of themselves, this is one of many examples. #DEIworkthatmatters
