For my new followers from this summer: I host a monthly twitter chat during school months called #GlobalSPED. It was born out of my trip to Bangladesh where I mentored some of that country's first Special Ed teachers. So, for half an hour Sunday night-we chat live.

Though #GlobalSPED focuses on teachers who work with kids with special needs, our topics, advice, and experience spread from general ed classrooms, Inclusive classrooms, every level of #SpecialEducation, home schooling and specialized schools. (more)

I should probably point out, that I'm the crazy guy/wizard behind the curtain making all the gifs-setting the tone. I just ask the questions, but the incredible information that #GlobalSPED teachers share will give you an incredible resource for your classroom/child.

Generally #GlobalSPED is a platform for the best practices we are using in our classrooms. Imagine having a teacher buddy down the room who has seen it all and knows of some resources you.

That's us. Modern technology has made us teaching buddies.

Generally, I keep politics out of things, but the idea of #GlobalSPED is we share best practice. The US Dept of Ed and @BetsyDeVosED have failed us. They have ignored best practice. This week I'm afraid that topic is coming up. Our students deserve better.

So, new followers, that explains #GlobalSPED-share out about us. Send us those new teachers who don't know what to do for math, or whose class isn't invited on the field trip. You will find some of the professional friends that you needed to know.

And we always invite #SchoolNurses #SpecialNeedsNurses to #GlobalSPED. We've been honored to have #MedTwitter give us safety advice. Before the nurses say anything: we have a gif inspired by my medically fragile classroom nurses who would like you to wash your hands.

NOW.

So that is #GlobalSPED. This week we will be sharing the best tools we are implementing during these crazy covid times. Some of us are now doing live/broadcast classrooms-Let's hear about some of the successes.

I'm looking forward to an amazing conversation!
Sunday 6 pm Pacific.
