How we don't do hard things is by simply "trying harder". Schools have a tendency to attribute stretches to a lack of motivation. They want students to do hard things, and then expect they will accomplish that by simply "trying harder" and being given external motivation behavior modification strategies. Thank you for being so clear that we can use student's strengths to support them with their stretches. It took until adulthood for me to be given this information, and we need to do better.
Educators and assistants need to honour the order of how things are taught before writing kids off. Many students are not taught the basics ( compounding educational neglect with each school year) and then staff that don’t know how to teach will scapegoat the child or their diagnosis for not being interested in the comprehension work. The students need basic tools and practice first. 100% to leading with strengths to reach stretches. If a student is resisting to engage then educators need to put their curiosity hats on and consult with the parents or all the material that parents laboured over to help the staff ( this free resource of material that parents create gets ignored too often). Thanks for being so joyful and energizing in your teachings. You have a gift for how you frame these concepts.
I want to thank you for your ideas and video’s. I started a college course at CDI and your videos are in there. Its amazing how much I have learned from your videos. Thank You again.
Shelley ~ How lucky was I to meet you at the BI Craft Fair last month!! You seriously made my day! I'm a treasure hunter, looking for at least one 'Gem' a day, and on some days - I find it! You were defo my GEM that day! Truth: I almost didn't go. I waffled all night, because it was a super 'Hard Thing' for me. BUT, I stretched and I was able to - meet you! Gems are usually found where I least expect 'em...just saying! You keep inspiring me, and hopefully I'll run into you in the Cove sometime :) ~ Tammy

As always these segments are amazing. I am sharing with all of my staff and adding it to my parent presentations.

See, this is where a strong parent is more vital for the education of the child
