Our school has a core advisory period that focuses on personal growth, social-emotional learning, and exploring Ss passions and purpose. My students have been working on a passion project for the past few weeks, and today they shared their progress so that we could celebrate! #EduSky

A student presenting at the front of a classroom. On the TV is a drawing that they made. They are working on creating a variety of Pokemon characters because they love to draw and wanted to work on new characters!

A student stands in a classroom holding a large scrapbook. She wanted to document her family's history so she interviewed her family members and gathered pictures to make a page for everyone in her family.

📢 Teacher voice is already there too. We need to honor teachers' expertise and voices if we want to see the parallel practice of students' voices being honored and heard.

🌉 Sometimes, the gap between students and the support they need feels impossibly wide. But true inclusion means building bridges, not islands. #LeadInclusion #EduSky #UDL #EdChat

"...the master schedule is everything." Yes! And building support into the school day through things like WIN time, for both student help sessions and teacher collaboration makes support accessible to all and minimizes the need for before and after school meetings.

How can administrators help teachers avoid burnout? In their new book, Jill Handley and Lara Donnelly explore the importance of a master schedule in providing teachers with time to plan. 🕰️

Designing a Master Schedule to Support All Teachers

Careful scheduling that takes into account the needs of teachers across grade levels can maximize the amount of time they have to plan.

You’ve seen the signs of cognitive overload: the deer in the headlights look, procrastination, or students saying “I can’t do it. I don’t know what to do.”

So how can you help students handle cognitive overload? 🧠 These resources can help:

Teaching Young Students How to Overcome Cognitive Overload

Teachers can help students develop the metacognitive skills to avoid becoming overwhelmed by school demands.

"Minutes" with a special educator are not always minutes of intervention. Coteaching isn't intervention. General push in help isn't intervention. These are "luxury goods." Intervention is a basic necessity!

Why Student Voice Needs More Than Words:

Some kids express themselves best through writing. Others through speaking. But what about those who struggle w/ both?

Visual thinking—sketching, diagrams, storyboarding—gives students another way to share ideas.
