I believe in collaboration between teachers, families, and professionals.

I believe in continuing education for teachers.

Teachers should be willing to try new strategies if the current ones aren’t working.

 Teachers need to be flexible.

Teachers should model what they want their students to learn.

I believe in positive language.

I believe in person-first language.

Inclusion should be utilized whenever it is appropriate for the student with special needs.
