The three most read blogs from Opening Doors for Learning in 2018 were:
Why Do People Come To Work When They Are Sick?: my own wonderings about why people who wouldn't send their child to school when they are sick come to work when they are so sick that they should be home. Why???? This post generated lots of discussion on social media and I posted a reflection on some of the responses in a later blog post.
Class Lists - Reframing That Child: a reflection the discussions that often ensue in June as class lists are being created for the coming school year, and a reminder to view all children with 'soft eyes', even the child who hits, or kicks, or misses so much school that their learning is fragmented.
Resources for World Down Syndrome Day: a list of resources for educators for World Down Syndrome Day which is held each year on March 21.
I think it's very positive that two of the three most read posts were about creating schools and classrooms that are inclusive for all students, while the other challenges us to rethink our beliefs about ourselves and our role in the classroom.
