I’m a fan of teacher use of AI, particularly how it can create better and more engaging practice…. but have always felt that teachers of littles didn’t have the same top notch tools.. until @padlet introduced ta.padlet.com. Game changed!

This week, I talked with @emilykm-lpc.bsky.social and @amandamorin.bsky.social about four actionable changes teachers can make right now to reshape their classrooms into spaces that are more affirming for neurodiverse students. Really good stuff!

Formative assessments—quick learning “pulse checks” during and after lessons—can be a powerful way to improve student learning and inform next instructional steps.
The best part? They can be fun and fast!
