I did a pro bono #SpEd consult and am left with a bit of a #moral dilemma, so tell me #edutooters, what would you do. 7yo girl attends a middle class #PublicSchool. A 1st grade boy repeatedly enters the girl's bathroom and taunts the girl's as he looks at them under the doors. After the girl's privacy had been violated a number of times over weeks, she finally kicked the boy in the face the last time, as he was peering at her. Girl is developmentally delayed and school punished her, not 1/2

Buried in this article abt the 6yo #Virginia boy who shot his #teacher is this telling statement about the child's #SpEd "care plan". Clearly the school failed to provide #FAPE if they were requiring the parents to chaperone their child throughout the day. I'm not a fan of more restrictive environments for young #students, but if a #school doesn't have the resources to ensure a safe environment for all kids under their care, then a change should have been made. #edutooter

#Parents and #teachers often forget that intellectual maturity does NOT equal #emotional #maturity with highly and profoundly #gifted kids. Instead of pathologizing normal #childhood behavior, the adults in the room need to re-evaluate their own expectations and provide support (if even necessary) to kids who are just being kids.

Always grateful for friends who don't blink an eye when I say, "Hey, you have a dead #bird on your deck. Do you have a bag so I can have it?"

Can you share a little about the Depth and Complexity framework and what exactly the five Content Imperatives: Origin, Parallel, Contribution, Convergence, and Paradox are? #gtchat #gifted #GiftedEd #Education -
@bigideasineducation I've written & taught state-approved #literacy CEU classes for early chidhood professionals, but I'm taking some time off from FT professional work. Still looking to connect with other #educators in the #SpEd #ISEA #GiftedEd #Davidson #DYS #EarlyCollege #SchoolReform #StudentArrests #DismantlePrisonPipeline and #JuvenileJustice fields.
