Tools in School - Disability Awareness - Understanding Differences - Elementary
Thank you for joining me in helping students better understand each other! One thing I’ve learned over the years is that a great way to help students with disabilities is to help their peers know and understand them better.
This presentation takes a bit of a different spin on the diversity of students' needs. The perspective is not what students HAVE (e.g., autism), but what students NEED. With the rise of inclusion over the past 20 years, all students now see a variety of accommodations a

Mistakes Are Part of Learning - Short Story - Classroom Mini Lesson
Getting a problem “wrong,” getting a bad grade, or not understanding a new concept can be discouraging, frustrating and even devastating for some students. This can stem from many factors, one of which is often a misunderstanding of what it means to learn, and why we are in school in the first place. This short story helps students shift from seeing mistakes as failure to seeing mistakes as a natural (even necessary) PART of learning, using the example of learning to ride a bike. This is a t

Teaching style
All students can learn. As educators, we must individualize our approach to students with creativity and fidelity, listening carefully to who they are, and recognizing the strengths and skills they have. We must continually explore evidence-based strategies to effectively engage students in their own learning and growth. My products offered on TpT flow out of this mindset.
