Twenty-five years ago, my classroom was filled with chalkboards, overhead projectors, and handouts. Technology was used sparingly, and classrooms had only a few computers for an entire room of children. Now, technology has transformed the classroom with interactive whiteboards, learning management systems, and loads of educational programs for students.

I am just getting back from the 2024 South Special Education Congress in Texas. This conference was a unique experience where we could meet with district leaders regarding their most pertinent initiatives moving into the 24-25 school year.
Academic success is literacy. Implementing a Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS) can promote students’ literacy growth and the positive outcomes districts desire. Why? Because while literacy is often synonymous with English language arts, it’s a necessary skill in all subject areas.
In a recent Clicker success story, AT Specialist Barb Lark mentioned that Clicker was used in Life Skills classrooms in Everett, Washington as part of the school district’s push to use Clicker to support students of all abilities. Life Skills courses often have an emphasis on communication and social interaction, health and self-care, daily living skills, and money management.
As a school administrator, you’re tasked with many responsibilities. You oversee budgets, implement district initiatives, evaluate data, and manage staff. And that barely scratches the surface. The list of duties is exhaustive. Among these responsibilities, the most critical and challenging task is creating an environment where every student reaches their full potential. And it’s not just about test scores. It’s about ensuring that every student, regardless of ability level, can thrive academically, socially, and emotionally.
I recently ran a webinar on using Clicker as part of your whole class teaching. Clicker is an invaluable support tool, but we recognize that not all schools have the licenses or devices for every student to access Clicker in every lesson.
The challenges faced by students learning English as an additional language are multi-layered. They are not only learning English but also learning curriculum subjects through English.
We’re thrilled to announce that Clicker has won the “2024 Primary Resource or Equipment – ICT” award at the Education Resources Awards!
See the training webinars we’re running in May and June!
