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.
The front cover of a student's scrapbook with drawn flowers. It reads "Roots & Reflections: The Stories of my Family."
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
Love seeing examples of this!! 👏
Yes. @montesyrie.bsky.social and @edutopia.org!

📢 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.
A digital illustration shows a teacher and students learning on a small island, while a separate island in the background has a woman and child at a desk. A wooden bridge connects them, but the gap remains noticeable. Large bold text reads, "so close." with smaller text underneath stating, "and, yet, so far away." The Lead Inclusion logo is in the top left corner.
🌉 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.
Based on the meta-analysis of John Hattie. We need to be doing these 8 things in order to affect the deepest, most lasting #learning.

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:

A textured white background with large black text reading, "Minutes" with a special educator aren’t always minutes of intervention. Below, smaller typewriter-style text states: Coteaching isn’t intervention. General push-in help isn’t intervention. These are "luxury goods." Intervention is a basic necessity. A small, simple clock illustration in the top left corner shows the time as 1:05. The "lead inclusion." logo appears in the bottom right corner with the tagline "all belong. all learn. all succeed."

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.
