Our students belong and are validated when we call them all "OUR students," rather than referring to some as "special education students." #LeadInclusion #EdChat #UDL #Inclusion

Researchers tracked nearly 24,000 adolescents and found that students with disabilities who spent the majority of the day in general ed classes did far better in reading and math compared to their more isolated peers.

Collaboration and explicit teaching are high-impact teaching strategies (HITS) that support our literacy learners. Today, our middle school ELA teachers engaged in thinking and discussions around HITS to build reading identities and communities. #LearnRCS

Our ELA teachers are enjoying our study of The Joy of Reading. We’d love to have Donalyn join us during one of our meetings.

I've read and admired @educationweek for 15 years and have never had reason to question their journalistic decision-making...until today. Running a @EdWeekOpinion piece by Lucy Calkins that amounts to an apologia/advertisement was a bad call. edweek.org/teaching-learning…

Teacher and student engagement go hand-in-hand. What can do we do in RCS to promote both? #RCSLearn
