Hello everyone! I have FINALLY delivered on my promise to talk about special education, and to do so, I brought on one of my FAVORITE special needs teachers, Ashley Granados. Ashley's insight into the lives of special needs students, what they need, and how schools are succeeding (and failing) at being advocated for them, is top tier. Plus, she's just great to listen to. If you want to learn how to better advocate for kids (as a parent or teacher), feel vindicated in your frustrations with the system, or just listen to two teachers talk passionately about the craft of teaching, this episode is for you!   This episode is sponsored by Heinemann—the leading publisher of professional books and resources for educators.  Obviously, this is a challenging time for every educator. Your taking care of yourself and your family, you’re thinking about friends and loved ones you can’t see in person. And you’re also adapting to trying to teach and care for your students virtually. Heinemann and their authors are providing free resources to support remote learning during this time. This page is being updated daily. So just go to Hein.pub/RemoteLearning to find all of the remote learning resources that are available for you to access for free.
