A #Washington Special Education School That Was Accused of Harming #Kids Is Now Barred From Taking New #Students
==

A state investigation into Northwest SOIL, launched following a Seattle Times and ProPublica series that highlighted problems at the school, found “unacceptably high” use of physical restraints and isolation rooms.

Not me doing the hardest part of my job before school even starts….this is about to be the most beautiful schedule I’ve ever made. I charge $80k for this. #Teaching #SpecialEducation #SpED

it me: “#Gifted students are not necessarily the best students… Sometimes #GiftedStudents fail because they don’t know how to ask for help, having always been told they were ‘smart,’ so they never learned how to work hard.”

I like Christie Robertson (PhD in neuroscience) for her no-nonsense focus on data, student outcomes, inclusion, and extraordinary service for #specialEducation. Gitenstein brings a voice of sanity to the district we are in oddly short supply of, and he would be my second choice, and he has other experience in large-org leadership I like, plus he doesn't mince words. Briggs seems to really like the status quo, and her qualifications/background are lacklustre.

“If states do not achieve the “meets requirements” threshold for two or more years, the Education Department must take enforcement action”

I've gone dark as a ramp up for the launch of an #education #law firm with a focus on #specialeducation. If you are a parent of a child with an #IEP or who has a #disability or is #neurodiverse I'd love it if you could leave me any questions that you've had along the way to help me build out our parental education page.

Just returned from a short trip to my son's graduation. He's in 8th grade, but he is in an online school so it wasn't down the block. Anyway, he received honors and an achievement award. He has autism. Before he started going to school online during the pandemic I was told not to expect much from him. His current school (public) has the funding to give him the help he needs. #fundourschools #specialeducation #autism

Almost done with state testing. #Education #SpecialEducation #Teacher #Teaching #SpED

Ah, the end of the school year, when students do not get their special ed services with any regularity because of testing, transitions and paperwork, but really struggle because of testing and transitions. #education #teaching #specialEducation #dontWorryConnectionTeachersWillManageWeAlwaysDo

I want to be gardening. Instead, I am about to drive across town to get files I forgot at work so I can work from home today for free. #Teacher #Teaching #TeacherLife #Education #SpecialEducation

@peckishly @donmelton *bitter laugh* I tried this trick but profoundly screwed up by doing well on an early #IQ test, so I was tagged a #gifted underachiever throughout my childhood. Cue the lifetime #anxiety, #depression, #perfectionism, and lack of #SelfEsteem.

I am truly the most exhausted I have ever been. Teaching is not sustainable right now. I’m hoping I can find some balance next year. #Education #SpecialEducation

About four or five different people today have told me how much they would not want my job. Fun. #teacher #ILoveMyJob #SpecialEducation #blind #TVI

Hi there.

I am an #Educator / #Teacher from the #PNW working in #SpecialEducation.

Hobbies and interests include #reading #ScienceFiction, #Photography, #Technology, #EducationalIssues and just hanging around. When I’m not #Teaching I like to spend time with the people I care about.

I am an out and proud #gay man currently residing in #Tacoma, #Washington.

I recently migrated back to a solo instance. Nothing wrong with the old one, I just like to tinker.

In the #Philippines, outside of the capital region #MetroManila, schools that offer #SpecialEducation programs are mostly found in major town centers, or the provincial capital

The first photo in this toot, show some of the schools in the NCR that the #AusomeMaps project [1] are currently working on updating, and data is available from #OpenStreetMap [0]

Outside the capital region, they're few and far between.
