How often do you hear teachers talk about how hard their classes are by the number of ELLs and IEPs in the room? This frames these students as a liability from the get-go. Start with the gifts, build on the strengths, and meet students where they are at. /3
Disability is a colonial construct. We learned that there isn't even a word for disability in Anishinaabemowin (Ojibwe) because we don't believe in disability, just that everyone has different gifts. We need to start seeing all students through that strengths-based lens. /2

@MadiSP4321 You don’t owe the non-teaching world an explanation. You also need to let go of the belief that the only way you’re “worthy” is if your minutes are consumed by the job. No one is ever going to throw teachers a ticker-tape parade. Enjoy a balanced life and let ‘em howl.
