🚫 Attaching a paraprofessional as a shadow to a #student disrupts relationships with peers and teachers, makes it less likely their teacher will assist them, and promotes dependence. #LeadInclusion #UDL #InclusiveEd #EdLeaders #EduSky

It shows a smiling child walking with a backpack beside a dark adult shadow figure in a spotlight, with Lee Ann Jung and leadinclusion.org in the lower right.

🌎 No two students are alike: some need extra support, others need bigger challenges, and many need both! That’s inclusive teaching in action. #LeadInclusion #UDL #InclusiveEd #EdLeaders #EduSky

Restricting classroom tech punishes the kids who need it most. A dyslexic reader loses text-to-speech. A non-verbal student loses their voice. The same students, every time. #AssistiveTech #InclusiveEd

💥 #Homework help is not intervention. Instead of asking special educators to assist with assignments and #homework, let's ask them to support foundational SKILLS and deep UNDERSTANDING. #LeadInclusion #UDL #InclusiveEd #EdLeaders #EduSky

⏲️ The most frequent IEP accommodation is extended time. What if we offered extra time to any student? If speed isn’t what we’re evaluating, extended time doesn’t change the standard. #LeadInclusion #UDL #InclusiveEd #EdLeaders #EduSky
Colorful poster on a dark blue textured background with a large stopwatch illustration on the right and bold text reading IF SPEED ISN'T THE SKILL BEING TAUGHT, WHY time anyone's WORK? Bottom right shows the Lee Ann Jung logo and leadinclusion.org.

It’s the ability to MANAGE EMOTIONS.” Colorful emoji-style faces on the right show happy, calm, laughing, sad, and angry expressions, with small doodles and the credit “Lee Ann Jung” and “leadinclusion.org” at bottom right.

💡 Special Educators: let's avoid calling students you serve "my students." It's well-intended, but it can perpetuate the view that students with #IEPs belong to special #education. #LeadInclusion #UDL #InclusiveEd #EdLeaders #EduSky
Poster on a blue textured background with a spotlight illustration and colorful text reading: There are NO “your students” and “my students.” All students are OUR STUDENTS! Lee Ann Jung, leadinclusion.org.
