Please consider joining us this coming Monday @OAPSA1
Welcoming Brianna Sarr-Kerman & Katie Thornton from Centerville City Schools as they share their insight on trauma-informed care in public schools for our February @OAPSA1 Hot Topics. Over 100+ members logged in early this Monday morning!

😔 Many #students feel stigmatized and excluded when they are seated at the back of the room with a paraprofessional. Wouldn't you? #LeadInclusion #EdLeaders #Educators #UDL
🕺 There should be no "special education classrooms" in our buildings. Spaces for support, when needed, should be for evidence-based intervention for any student who needs it. Homework help ≠ intervention. #LeadInclusion #EdLeaders #Educators #UDL #TeacherTwitter
The Ohio Educators prep programs are really engaging and building more important focus on education leadership!
Excited to welcome @pasi_sahlberg, Author & Professor of Educational Leadership, @UniMelb as of our keynote for this year’s conference on March 13-15. Learn more and join us! ohiodeanscompact.org/our-events/ann…
