Spring 2025, CA 3-yr-olds w/ speech language impairments or sensory differences are on track in Language & Literacy at rates comparable to a nationally representative sample, demonstrating how tools like the #DRDP measure strengths & provide fair results. Interactive graph: dr2025data.my.canva.site

You don’t have to do it all. Asking for help is a strength, not a weakness. This week, choose one moment to say: “Can you help me with this?” Notice how it lightens the load and strengthens connection. 🌱 #EduSky

Observation is about what is, not what we think. Instead of writing “She was frustrated,” write “She crossed her arms and turned away when the block tower fell.” 💡Tip: Stick to what you see and hear—not your interpretation. #EduSky

As you begin observing, what are you most curious about this year? Maybe it’s how a child communicates through play. Or how they respond to new peers. Or how inclusion shows up across the day. Curiosity is the first step toward meaningful observation. What’s on your mind? #EduSky

Details fade fast! 📝 Write down what you observe as soon as possible - don’t wait until the end of the day. Quick notes capture the richness of children’s actions and words before memory blurs. 💡Tip: Keep a notepad or digital recorder handy to jot down authentic observations. #EduSky

Observation starts with presence. Minimize distractions, put away your phone/ to-do list, and give your full attention to one child for just 5–10 minutes. You’ll be amazed at what you notice when you’re fully present. 💡Tip: Choose one child to observe. Write only what you see & hear. #EduSky
