Share a Personal Story

Have students share a story of their experience with their own disability (if they feel comfortable) or of someone they know. Personal narrative can be extremely powerful and build vulnerability. Model by sharing a story of your own.

Expectations Communication Expectations Communication

Research on teacher expectations and student achievement has shown that expectations have a dramatic impact on student academic performance (Kerman, Kimball & Martin, 1980). Student behavioral performance is also dependent to a large degree on the expectations of significant adults in the students' lives.


There will be a series of expectation videos made that help students follow the expectations at Briarwood. Please show these videos in class as they are released via email to ensure students are understanding the expectations. The first location specific video is the Bathroom Expectations video. Please show this in class multiple times to ensure all students are following the bathroom expectations.
