Meta-analytic research has revolutionized the field of education by shifting it from tradition to accessible science. Dive into the #VisibleLearning data here: www.visiblelearningm...#VisibleLearning#LeadInclusion #EduSky #TeacherTwitter #UDL

Teaching metacognition is like giving students the superpower of learning how to learn! 🦸‍♂️ It's a total game changer. #LeadInclusion #UDL #Metacognition #EduSky #TeacherTwitter

What a beautiful year working with a cohort of teachers at Country Day School Costa Rica. They've invested significant weekend time and energy to help make school work well for more students. #UDL #MTSS #Assessment #LeadInclusion #EduSky

Summative doesn’t mean formal. A student conference can be summative, too. #LeadInclusion #Assessment #UDL #EduSky #EdChat #TeacherTwitter

UDL and differentiation aren’t the same—but they harmonize beautifully. #LeadInclusion #UDL #Differentiation #EduSky #EdChat

Every student shines beautifully—but not all in the same way. #UDL helps us see it. #LeadInclusion #EduSky #EdChat #TeacherTwitter

It's been a phenomenal couple of days at The Columbus School in Medellín, engaged in assessment work--shifting assessment culture, developing an assessment ethos, and iterating assessment practices for self-efficacy, transferable skills, growth, and engagement. I'm inspired by these educators!

How students *show* learning isn’t the same as *what* they learned. UDL removes the barriers to showing their learning. #LeadInclusion #Assessment #UDL #EduSky #EdChat

Traditional grading closes doors before students even get to walk through them. #LeadInclusion #Grading #UDL #EduSky #EdChat #TeacherTwitter

Averaging grades doesn’t make them fairer. And calculators don’t make them objective. #LeadInclusion #Grading #UDL #EduSky #TeacherTwitter

The next edition of our EC assessment textbook is in bookstores now. 📚

Grades are only labels. Feedback drives growth. Focus on what matters. #LeadInclusion #UDL #Assessment #EduSky #TeacherTwitter #EdChat

We've been taught to label the functions of behavior in ways that fee...manipulative. What if we thought of this differently? When we shift from judgment to empathy, everything changes. #EduSky #LeadInclusion #EducationTikTok #InclusiveEducation #UDL #SpecialEducation

Design access into the system now. You’ll need fewer accommodations later. #LeadInclusion #UDL #EduSky #EdChat #TeacherTwitter

If it’s good for some, it’s probably good for all. Just give it to everyone. #LeadInclusion #UDL #EduSky #TeacherTwitter #EdChat

We can’t assume students know *how* to learn. We have to teach metacognition explicitly. #LeadInclusion #UDL #EduSky #EdChat #TeacherTwitter

High expectations matter. So does great instruction. Together, they change everything. #LeadInclusion #UDL #EduSky #EdChat #TeacherTwitter

Inclusive placement ≠ inclusion. Wwe can have segregation within the walls of a classroom. #LeadInclusion #UDL #EduSky #EdChat #TeacherTwitter

I often get the question, "Is UDL a the same as differentiation?" #LeadInclusion #UDL #Education #SpecialEducation

Inclusive education isn’t about piling on supports. It’s about redefining roles to serve all students. #LeadInclusion #UDL #EduSky #TeacherTwitter #EdChat

Data doesn’t have to be numbers. Watch. Listen. That’s your most valid data source. #LeadInclusion #MTSS #Assessment #EduSky #TeacherTwitter #UDL

#MTSS isn’t only about intervention. It’s a schoolwide system for prevention, access, & support. #LeadInclusion #UDL #EduSky #TeacherTwitter #EdChat

Not all time with a special educator is intervention. Support ≠ intervention. #LeadInclusion #SpecialEd #MTSS #UDL #EduSky #EdChat

Averaging undermines the validity of grades. Grades should reflect where the student is *now.* #LeadInclusion #Grading #Assessment #EduSky #UDL #EdChat

Feedback drives learning. Grades are just labels. Prioritize the learning. #LeadInclusion #FeedbackFirst #Assessment #EduSky #UDL #TeacherTwitter

Grading less isn’t radical. Montessori educators have shown us the way for years. #LeadInclusion #Grading #UDL #EduSky #TeacherTwitter #EdChat

If all the group of students has in common is having an IEP, there is not way a resource room teacher can provide real intervention. #LeadInclusion #SpecialEd #MTSS #UDL #EdChat

A formal doesn’t mean a more valid assessment. It's often the opposite! We need to need to give students options to show what they know. #LeadInclusion #Assessment #EduSky #UDL #EdChat

Paraprofessionals are essential—and they deserve professional development, too. #LeadInclusion #EdChat #UDL #EduSky #TeacherTwitter

Format can be a barrier. Options let students show what they really know. #LeadInclusion #Assessment #UDL #EdChat #TeacherTwitter

Let's make IEP meetings authentically student-focused! 🚀 What are the student's dreams and how can we support them in reaching their goals? #LeadInclusion #IEPs #SpecialEd #EdChat #UDL

With excellent instruction, *everyone* can excel. #UDL isn’t a fix—it’s good teaching for all. #LeadInclusion #EduSky #EdChat #TeacherTwitter

Grading ≠ assessment. The best teaching is built on feedback, not points. #LeadInclusion #Assessment #Grading #EduSky #UDL #TeacherTwitter

Rubrics shouldn’t be focused on identifying what’s wrong or missing. They should be a metacognitive tool that points to what’s next. #LeadInclusion #Assessment #EduSky #UDL #TeacherTwitter

The goal isn’t behavioral compliance. It’s developing learners who regulate their emotions and lead their own growth. #LeadInclusion #UDL #SEL #EdChat #EduSky

Grading reform is important. But it must follow assessment reform. #LeadInclusion #Assessment #UDL #EduSky #EdChat #TeacherTwitter

Helping with assignments ≠ intervention. Special educators need scheduled time for real impact. #LeadInclusion #SpecialEducation #MTSS #EdChat #UDL #EduSky

Students thrive on feedback and dialogue, not grades. Use meaningful conversations as assessment to promote real growth. #LeadInclusion #EduSky #TeacherTwitter #UDL #EdChat

If speed isn’t the goal, why are we timing their work? Rethink what matters. #LeadInclusion #UDL #EdChat #TeacherTwitter #EduSky

Reminder: Students with IEPs aren’t a separate category. They’re just students. #LeadInclusion #UDL #EdChat #EduSky #TeacherTwitter

Mastery isn’t one leap—it’s a staircase. Teach with progressions: Acquisition → Fluency → Maintenance → Transfer. #LeadInclusion #UDL #MTSS #EduSky #EdChat

How would our transcripts, report cards, assessments, and grades look if they reflected the skills that children need MOST? #LeadInclusion #teacher #Assessment #school #udl #education #EduSky

Inclusive educators know this: we can teach all students well—because we’re prepared to adapt, not exclude. #LeadInclusion #UDL #EduSky #EdChat #TeacherTwitter

Behavior is the surface. Emotional regulation is the root. Teach students how to manage emotions. #LeadInclusion #SEL #EduSky #UDL #TeacherTwitter

Belonging isn't optional—it's foundational. Inclusive educators build it on purpose. #LeadInclusion #UDL #EduSky #TeacherTwitter #EdChat

In this video, I use a travel metaphor to bring cohesion/coherence to some of the most common concepts in education: #Standards/Competencies, #UBD and #Backward Design, #MTSS, #UDL, #Assessment It can feel like too many initiatives at times! But it all connects. #LeadInclusion
