Send us a textWhat if we stopped seeing some students as "difficult to teach" and started designing our classrooms for everyone from the beginning? That's the transformative question at the heart of my conversation with Devon Warnock and Jennifer Mercer, Consultants for Inclusive Education at Lester B Pearson School Board.Both educators began their careers in classrooms with diverse learning profiles – "We didn't even know it wasn't normal," Jennifer reflects. "We just did what we had to do." Their journeys from overwhelmed teachers to inclusive education experts reveals how Quebec's approach to inclusion has evolved over the past two decades.The conversation tackles a persistent challenge: even experienced teachers struggle with understanding the difference between flexible pedagogy, adaptation, and modification. This confusion led Devon to develop an Inclusion Toolkit, providing practical strategies for designing lessons that work for all students rather than retrofitting for those who learn differently. When surveying 250+ teachers, they discovered that many with 15+ years of experience still felt unprepared to support students with diverse learning needs.Perhaps most compelling is their vision of what true inclusion looks like – not just shared physical space, but environments where every student feels they genuinely belong. Through established routines, positive relationships, and thoughtful planning, teachers can create classrooms where diversity becomes the expected standard rather than the exception.Whether you're a new teacher feeling overwhelmed by diverse classroom needs or a veteran looking to refresh your approach, this episode offers practical wisdom for moving beyond just "integrating" students to truly celebrating their unique contributions in our learning communities.

This edWeb podcast is  sponsored by CORE Learning.The webinar recording can be accessed here.Words matter—especially in the classroom. When teachers and students come from different linguistic and cultural backgrounds, the language we choose can become a bridge. Our classrooms are vibrant communities where diverse languages and cultures meet. Recognizing and leveraging this diversity helps us understand and meet the needs of multilingual students and strengthens trust and connection between the student and teacher. The first step to creating the bridge is awareness.How can you develop this awareness? It begins with adopting a metalanguage mindset. CORE Learning's Maya Goodall leads a conversation with Dr. Lillian Ardell, founder of Language Matters, as they discuss the power of the metalanguage mindset for teachers in language-diverse classrooms and how small changes in how we talk and listen can make a big difference.In this first session of CORE Learning's Structured Literacy and Language Diversity Week: Spring '24 Series, learn how a metalanguage mindset can help you:Connect Deeply with Students: Learn how to consciously use language that positively frames linguistic diversity as an asset.Identify and Reduce Biases: Spot and mitigate unconscious linguistic biases to create a more fair and welcoming classroom.Implement Inclusive Teaching Practices: Ensure every student receives the instruction they need and deserve.This edWeb podcast  is of interest to PreK-12 teachers, school leaders, and district leaders. CORE LearningTransform teaching and learning so that every student thrives.Disclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.

Last summer, I attended our Teaching Professor Annual Conference, one of my favorite conferences that we host. If you haven't been to it, I highly recommend attending it this year in New Orleans. You can check it out at www.TeachingProfessorConference.com. When I attended last year, I went to a session by Jonathan Howle about empowering trans-spectrum students. He said something that I'll never forget. He said, “Your space and your class may be the only safe space that a student has. Your class being a safe space, could save lives.” So today, we're going to talk about strategies that instructors can use to create safe spaces where transgender students feel as if they belong without fear or stress, and ultimately, help students grow personally and academically. Both instructors in this episode will share their own stories and explain how making small, inclusive adjustments will help students feel more comfortable, perform better academically, and grow personally.

Elizabeth and Erin share insights from their research and provide practical strategies for educators and families to promote peer engagement and friendship in schools.Key Takeaways:Inclusive classrooms often overlook peer relationships due to a focus on academics and a lack of training in social-emotional skills.Friendships promote well-being for students with disabilities.Inclusive classrooms foster relationships between students with disabilities and non-disabled peers.The Enhancing Peer Network Project aims to develop tools and resources to support social communication and foster relationships for autistic students who use AAC.AAC is essential for students with limited verbal speech to communicate and build relationships with peers.Resources:TIES Center - Creating Communities of Belonging for Students with Significant Cognitive Disabilities: https://publications.ici.umn.edu/ties/peer-engagement/belonging/introductionMCIE: Website: https://www.mcie.org/Email List: https://bit.ly/MCIE-Email-ListFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/ThinkInclusive/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/think_inclusive/Threads: https://www.threads.net/@think_inclusiveYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/ThinkinclusiveUsLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/inclusive-education/Support: https://bit.ly/MCIE-Donate Hosted on Acast.

 We often talk about school segregation from a racial and /or class perspective, but an equally concerning issue is the segregation of kids based on dis/ability. And while many disabled students are marginalized by our educational system, it is particularly true for students of color. It's an overdue conversation for us on the podcast, and it's an important one, because, as the conversation makes clear, all forms of oppression are linked together, and destroying one will require them all to fall.  We are joined for the conversation by Joyner Emrick, a disabled person with two disabled kids, and Shubha Balabaer, a non-disabled parent to a disabled toddler. They both offer insight and vulnerability about a subject that is often hard to talk about. From the choice for person or identity first language, to the medical vs social model of disability, the conversations lives in the nuance of a complicated topic.  We try to ground ourselves in the disability justice movement and its dedication to dismantling systemic oppression. It is clear that the fight for disability rights is inextricably linked to the fight for social justice and equity for all.

Get ready to party with the Teachers Off Duty podcast crew and former teacher turned national advocate for educational justice, Dr. Deonna Smith! This week we are sharing our best, saddest, and most outrageous stories from school birthday parties. From backpack-based cake disasters to uninvited guests, we have seen it all - and are not afraid to spill the beans. But birthday's aren't all fun and games – so we also discuss how to handle situations where students can't celebrate or feel left out. If you're looking for a laugh and some expert advice on managing school birthday celebrations, this episode is for you. *Watch the full episode and more on our YouTube.* Subscribe to our newsletter!
