In all cases, the student is considered a full member of the school community! Thanks to Dr. Sylvia Fuentes & Dr Cyndi Short @StetsonAssoc @SPEDucatorsRock @KKPCASBello @DESHauanio @Kristel_KMS
Students with disabilities are general education students first. They have incredible potential, like all learners, and bring unique superpowers to the classroom. Inclusion makes learning better for everyone! #EDBusTour22 #RoadToSuccess

The GOP-packed Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade. We have to stick together & continue to fight for bodily autonomy & universal health care 4 ALL. And President Biden can step up to protect abortion, too. Will you show solidarity & sign the petition?

As we prepare to start summer learning programs and plan for the new school year let’s take advice from our friend @JBerckemeyer mahalo, Jack! 🌼@KKPCASBello @KKPCA1 @HIDOE808 “teachers enter into an unbreakable pact with the future!” #DeliberateOptimism
Our students and teachers need a reset for the next school year. Students still need grace but also accountability. They need to be reminded of the rigors of school and how to treat others. In many cases their filters are off and need a refresher on how to be kind and respectful

Well said!!! 🤙🏽 It’s critical to create a professional relationship that is trusting in order to provide feedback to elevate educator’s new skills and knowledge because we can’t afford to waste our student’s time. @KKPCA1 @CASKeone
Professional development without follow through does NOT work. Schools and classrooms are complicated ecosystems. Learning a new skill or tool is one thing. Implementing those skills and tools is a whole other beast given the unique constraints and challenges of each community.
