An omnipresent theme in education is "meeting the needs of our diverse learners". We find this embedded within PBIS, MTSS, UDL, Differentiated Instruction, Scaffolding, etc. Yesterday, Susan, Lisa, and I attended a leadership training about both sexual harassment and the co-teaching model. It was clear this theme of addressing learners' unique needs continued to be reinforced within these topics. We will share more at a later date, but this ARTICLE from Mindshift resonated with me and the trends and targets we continue to see within our own educational landscape. Of course, the article is worth a read...AND as a bonus this week, I've included a 5 question comprehension quiz via Google Forms new quiz feature. $20 restaurant gift card to the first teacher with a perfect score!
