I think this goes right along with what we talked about in class on Thursday about setting high expectations for ALL of our students. We owe it to them to give them the benefit of the doubt and give them the opportunities they deserve to show what they're made of. :~) Good for you Jen!

Empowerment gives people a voice! Why is it people think that children with special needs can't speak and/or advocate for themselves? What really drives me crazy is when teachers talk negatively about students right in front of them. Talk about dis-empowerment! (Is that a word?):) I so agree with you Jen!
