Three diverse teachers collaboratively reviewing a document, smiling and engaged. Text overlay reads, "All students benefit from special education strategies when teachers co-plan." Logo in the corner says "Lead Inclusion."

🏫 Inclusive school leaders structure the master schedule for co-planning, and include special educators in grade-level or content-area meetings. All students benefit from special education strategies when we do. #LeadInclusion #EduSky #UDL #InclusiveEd #EdLeaders

Blue fabric with a Velcro strip, featuring the text "A student who has been velcroed to a paraprofessional has not been included." Logo in the corner.

👥 A #student who is velcroed to a paraprofessional all day has not been included. Exclusion can happen even when sharing the same room. LRE is a low bar. #LeadInclusion #EduSky #UDL #InclusiveEd #EdLeaders

Blue text on a light blue background reads, 'In inclusive classrooms, everyone is Seen, Heard, & Valued.' A logo with 'lead inclusion' appears in the bottom right."

🏫 An inclusive classroom is a place where every learner feels seen, heard, and valued. #LeadInclusion #EduSky #UDL #InclusiveEd #EdLeaders

Text reads, “Place inclusively, and ask, ‘How can I ensure the student gains valuable learning?’” on a colorful watercolor background of blue, green, red, and yellow. The "lead inclusion" logo is at the bottom right.

🏢 When making placement decisions, the question should not be whether the #student can meet grade level expectations. The question is, "How can the student learn something valuable in this setting?" #LeadInclusion #EduSky #UDL #InclusiveEd #EdLeaders

Text overlay on a blurred hallway reads, "Schools become inclusive because of teachers who are collaborative, caring innovators who make it work for each student." In the corner, a logo reads "lead inclusion."

🏫 #Schools don't become "#inclusive schools" by #learning strategies and implementing programs. They become inclusive because the people are collaborative, caring, innovators who make it work for each #student. #LeadInclusion #EduSky #UDL #InclusiveEd #EdLeaders

A teacher engages with diverse young students at a classroom table, focused on activities. Text reads, "Teaching isn’t best evaluated by watching teachers, but rather in watching students."

🏆 Learning isn’t about what we deliver—it’s about what students receive. To reflect on our teaching, we look to the students, what they do, how they engage. #LeadInclusion #EduSky #UDL #InclusiveEd #EdLeaders

"Illustrated text reads 'Iterate instruction with Universal Design for Learning' atop a background of code. Below, wooden blocks spell 'Iteration.' Logo reads 'Lead Inclusion.'"

🏃 We can make massive strides in becoming a more #inclusive classroom by finding ways to iterate our instruction with universal design for learning as the guide. #LeadInclusion #EduSky #UDL #InclusiveEd #EdLeaders

Crumpled paper background with bold black text stating, "Pulling students from a classroom because they have a label harms self-efficacy and belonging. There are far better options." A logo in the bottom right reads "lead inclusion" with a tagline "all belong, all learn, all succeed."

Pulling students from the classroom because they have a label harms a sense of belonging (and self-efficacy). There are wonderful alternates to this approach that are research based and support belonging. We all have strengths and needs. #LeadInclusion #EdLeaders #Teachers #EduSky #UDL

traffic light with red, yellow, and green signals is on the left. To the right, text reads, "Behavior charts are more about public shaming than self-regulation. Tear them down!" with the "lead inclusion" logo below.

🚦 We have a lot of effective methods for teaching self-regulation; humiliation isn't one of them. Let's get rid of those behavior charts! #LeadInclusion #EdLeaders #Teachers #UDL #EduSky

A yellow accessibility ramp with the text: "The more universal design for learning we use, the fewer accommodations & modifications we need to add."

🛗 Just like the ramps around us that help everyone, the more universal design for learning we put into place in our classrooms, the fewer special accommodations and modifications we need to add later. #LeadInclusion #EduSky #UDL #InclusiveEd #EdLeaders

Wooden blocks arranged as ascending steps on a black background, beside text emphasizing research-based student intervention for mastery. Logo in the corner.

Intervention is systematically moving a student to proficiency on a critical skill using a research-based practice. (Homework support doesn't count.) #LeadInclusion #EdLeaders #Teachers #UDL #SBLchat #TG2Chat #EduSky

A woman in a white sleeveless top and dark pants stands pensively against a textured gray wall, hand to forehead, with an exaggerated shadow behind her raising an arm upward in a gesture of aspiration. White text overlay reads: "High expectations and awesome instruction are a powerful combination." Bottom left: circular logo with red-and-blue equals sign and "lead inclusion."

🔑 How well #students with #IEPs succeed depends largely on the expectations teachers hold for them. Never underestimate the combined power of high expectations and awesome instruction. #LeadInclusion #EdLeaders #Teachers #UDL #SBLchat #TG2Chat #EduSky

Another great #edleaders #strongground session! Comment if the carousel metaphor made you nod and smile too! #iteachmatj #edmentor

Colorful gradient background with text reading: “We can make huge leaps in becoming more inclusive by infusing our work with universal design for learning.”

We can make massive strides in becoming a more inclusive classroom by finding ways to iterate our instruction with universal design for learning as the guide. #LeadInclusion #EduSky #UDL #InclusiveEd #EdLeaders

A solitary figure in a hooded jacket sits on a bench by a misty lake at dusk, framed by autumn branches and fog-shrouded forest, evoking isolation. Overlay text: "Of the 16% of students who have IEPs in our schools, most have 'invisible needs.'" Bottom right logo: circular equals sign with "lead inclusion."

Of the 16% of students who have an IEP in our schools, most have "invisible needs," making them easily overlooked. #LeadInclusion #EduSky #UDL #InclusiveEd #EdLeaders

Two people sit facing each other in conversation, with text reading: “A real conversation with a student usually yields more valid data than a formal assessment.”

Data doesn't have to mean numbers or letters. All of the information we have is data. A conversation often yields your most valid data. #LeadInclusion #EduSky #UDL #InclusiveEd #EdLeaders

A student sits at a desk looking stressed while working on a laptop, with text reading: “A grading system that persistently punishes mistakes guarantees stagnation of learning.”

A grading system that consistently penalizes errors instead of communicating progress and mastery steals the joy of learning. #LeadInclusion #EduSky #UDL #InclusiveEd #EdLeaders
