Here we go again!!!! 🥊🥊🥊

Since we all loved 🥰 the Great Blue Pen War competition, let’s do another tournament to pick our ultimate winner. This time we’re doing FIDGETS!!

Comment ⬇️ what your favorite fidget is, and tag the brand if they have social media to see if they want to get in on the action 🤺

Also, for criteria I’m thinking we judge based on things like durability, portability, noise level, and the mindlessness of it so it doesn’t take our focus- let me know what you think 🤔 about those or if you have other suggestions.

SO PUMPED FOR THIS!!! Let the games begin!

As a bilingual school psych who has been part of district level bilingual assessment teams, I unfortunately see schools make many mistakes when it comes to the equitable assessment of our ✨Multilingual Learners✨ (or English Learners, ELLs as many say, but I disklike those terms 😝)

Two of the most common mistakes are:
1️⃣ Ignorning the student’s cultural and linguistic background all together and giving the same battery of tests to all students no matter what, and
2️⃣ Seeing the EL/ELL designation on their file and automatically assuming they can only be tested nonverbally or in their home language

BOTH of these mistakes can be harmful ❌ because they fail to consider the student as an individual and how their cultural and linguistic background makes some tests better than others to capture their true abilities.

The solution?
✅Gather information about the students
✳️ English Proficiency &
✳️ Dominant Language

A tool id recommend for doing this is the Woodcock Muñoz Language Survey, Third Edition (WMLS III). If you’re curious about the WMLS and want to try it, Riverside Insights is allowing me to gift you a two week 🆓 trial! Just comment “Practice” and I’ll send you all the info you need to sign up.

Some potentially helpful accommodation ideas for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) 🤗 that could be part of a student’s 504 Plan, IEP, or provided informally!

⚠️As a reminder⚠️, these are just general suggestions. Not all students with disabilities require a plan, and if they do, not all accommodations will be the right fit for them. The key is to think about the individual student’s specific strengths and needs and work from there!

👋🏼Do you have a child with ADHD? Do you have any of these accommodations as part of their plan at school? What is helpful for them?
➕ Any other suggestions to add to my list?

Today is my 38th birthday! 🎂🥰 For the past two years I’ve been wearing the same dress (😮 impressive considering last year I was 9 months pregnant and this year I’m postpartum and nursing!) and sharing some words of wisdom with you.

About:
😌 Authenticity @ 3️⃣6️⃣
⚖️ Balance @ 3️⃣7️⃣
And now 🧑‍🧑‍🧒‍🧒 Community @ 3️⃣8️⃣

This past year I’ve had to ask for and accept help from this community on here, my coworkers at school, and my friends and family. It’s very humbling to do something completely new that you have no real way of preparing for, but learning to lean on others saved me 😅😅😅

From asking how to deal with maternity leave paperwork, navigating gestational diabetes, healing from birth, learning to breastfeed, living off of zero sleep, transitioning back to work, and becoming a working mom- I got SOOOO much helpful advice and words of encouragement from all of my people, on here and IRL 🥰🥰🥰🥰 I’m forever grateful to my community near, far, and virtual. So THANK YOU🙏🏼 from the bottom of my heart. ❤️

Can’t wait to see what this new year has in store for me!

Love,
Briana

👋🏼Special Educators: whether you are new to the job and need to figure out where to start or have been doing this for a while, but have a goal of getting more organized this year around your caseload- this series is for you!

I’m calling it “Organizing Your Caseload 101” because I’m going to walk you through exactly what I do from the moment I get my caseload for the year so that I can keep on top of the hundred of deadlines 😅😅

This is Part 4️⃣ of a 4️⃣ part series where I’ll break down each step/ process.
4️⃣: Breaking down evaluations: I use the information on the calendar to plan exactly what I must do by week so that everything will be completed on time! It starts with knowing when the meeting is scheduled (due date), then planning to work on the report at least the week before that, and then doing all of the interviewing, observing, testing, etc at least the week before that! As I’ve shared before, this is what I always refer to as ✨backwards planning✨

❓Does this sound helpful to you? Let me know in the comments if you’re excited to hear more/ ask any specific questions that I might not have addressed in the previous three parts of this series ⬇️
📩 Send this to someone who would benefit from learning more too!
