Data isn’t a report on students — it’s a reflection of your impact, your talent, and your skill. Own the data, and you own the growth.

When it became law on July 26, 1990, the Americans with Disabilities Act set forth rights & protections for millions of people across our country with disabilities – including our nation’s students. Today, we celebrate those continuing rights & protections as we mark #ADA35.

A 504 Plan is like adding a ramp to help a student access the school, while an IEP is like building a custom path to help them learn in a way that works best for them. #SpecialEducation #IEPvs504 – at St Andrews, SC

Effective success criteria clearly describe what learners will say, do, or how they'll act when they've met the learning goal. đź’ˇ Here are five ways to share #successcriteria with your students. #TeacherClarity #VisibleLearning
5 types of success criteria: 1. "I Can" Statements: Clear, direct declarations for individual learning goals. 2. "We Can" Statements: Emphasizing the power of collective achievement. 3. Single-Point Rubrics: Focusing on expectations for mastery without measuring different quality levels. 4. Holistic/Analytic Rubrics: Setting clear expectations with detailed quality descriptions. 5. Teacher Modeling: Demonstrating the content, practices, and dispositions learners need to succeed.

These five PLC+ questions help keep a relentless focus on #student learning outcomes. They also help explain WHY the impact of #PLCs is powerful.
The PLC+ Framework Guiding Questions. 1: Where are we going? 2: Where are we now? 3: How do we move learning forward? 4: What did we learn today? 5: Who benefited and who did not benefit?

Belonging can accelerate learning!
Douglas Fisher (@DFISHERSDSU) profile pictureDouglas Fisher@DFISHERSDSU10 May 2024
#Belonging is often defined as a visceral feeling: You know when you feel it—and you REALLY know when you don't. Belonging (effect size = 0.46, per the latest research) can accelerate learning, meaning that #students with a strong sense of belonging perform better academically.
Belonging (effect size = .46) has the potential to accelerate student learning. This means students with a strong sense of belonging perform better academically.

🌟 Scaffolding should develop students' cognitive habits and result in the transfer, or the application, of knowledge and skills to diverse contexts. #HowScaffoldingWorks

In the #WPS24 "Education Law" workshop, Fellows will gain an understanding of how the federal courts and educational law intersect to create education policy by examining current cases before #SCOTUS & learning how the Court's opinion may impact students.
