Join me as I make the case for these frameworks to be more than mere pathways to special education, advocating for a synergistic relationship where shared insights and strategies lead to student success. With a focus on the parallels between MTSS and special education, I call attention to the importance of data-driven decisions, periodic reviews, and targeted goals, all crucial for meaningful progress. It's a mission to ensure that the commitment schools make to support student learning is not just a promise, but a practice. This conversation is an urgent one, with implications that reach far beyond individual classrooms. As the new year unfolds, it's time to rethink our approach to educational support, aiming for consistency and resource-sharing that can uplift both MTSS and special education. By exploring interventions like the Orton-Gillingham approach, which may serve to elevate all students, we can begin to address the deep-seated issues that leave too many students lagging in basic skills. I'm calling for a year of innovation to combat teacher burnout and reverse the exodus from this critical profession, crafting an educational experience that's as fulfilling for educators as it is for students.

Send us a text Do you remember how much fun it was to learn about the solar system, plants or the states of matter? I can still remember doing experiments in my elementary classrooms, as well as learning about all these really cool, smart, brave people from history. Going home and telling my family about all of the interesting facts that I learned that day was actually pretty cool, and man did my friends and I love to one-up each other on our knowledge about facts we learned in school. But, that isn’t the reality in classrooms anymore. The fact is that we spend almost all of our time focused on reading and math, and almost no time teaching about science or history/social studies. The fact is, it’s boring! Practicing a skill over and over again, but never having anything to show for it is incredibly frustrating, and I can only imagine how boring it is for kids to sit through day after day of skill practice when they never get to actually go home and say “Today, I learned something about____” Today, we are going to talk about what we have been doing in schools in regards to reading and math skill focus, and what we COULD do to make school motivating again!

#70 How I Created an Intervention Plan that Changed my Teaching Forever 13:50

for 2 years siden13:50

13:50

Send us a text Obviously I talk a lot about intervention plans, how important they are and how effective they can be…but I didn’t always have a good intervention plan, or quite frankly an intervention plan at all! My first year teaching, I was a special education teacher for elementary and it was quite an adventure. I wasn’t given a curriculum or anything other than a scope and sequence for when different things were going to be taught and told to use that and the very random resources in my classroom to teach my students. There really was no official curriculum for that grade at that time, so the teachers were supposed to work together to plan for what they would do. Unfortunately, the climate in this school was very competitive so the teachers used their own materials, or maybe shared with their one friend, but there really was no overall plan or sharing of materials within the grade level….so I was left really in the dark on what materials or resources my students would be using in their individual classrooms. As a first year teacher, that REALLY made my life difficult. So, I did what new teachers do best….I found free resources wherever I could (this was before Teachers Pay Teachers to give you an idea of how long I’ve been teaching) and I made it work. Guys, it was so bad! I had a general idea for what the kids were supposed to be learning in their classes, and what the IEP goals were, but other than that….I really didn’t know where to start or what to do! I was constantly trying new resources out to see if they worked on this goal or that one, but there really wasn’t a cohesive plan behind what I was trying to do….other than I wanted my students to succeed. And I absolutely wrecked myself trying to make it all work…. It wasn’t until my second year teacher, changing schools and seeing a more cohesive plan or mindset for how interventions could be managed that I was able to pull my poor little ducks in a row and start figuring out my own cohesive plan to provide quality interventions for my students. But man, making that shift changed my entire teaching career, and honestly if I hadn’t made that change I don’t think I would have stayed in teaching past that second year….yeah….having an intervention plan that worked really was and still is THAT important.

#68 Kids and Teachers Need Connections to Be Successful 16:40

Send us a text Last week, I was talking to a friend of mine who teaches high school and she is one of the most caring teachers I have ever met. The amount of time that this woman spends worrying about her students and finding ways to meet them where they are is, well it’s almost obsessive. She is an extrovert like I have never known before and she really is one of those teachers that somehow always finds a way to make a real connection or relationship with all of her students. Except, when I was talking to her last week, she was so down on herself and when she finally got down to why it was because she just can’t seem to find a way to connect with her students this year. It has been harder since the pandemic closed schools, but this year has been especially difficult for her. She and I talked about how she tries to engage her students in conversations and the best she gets is 1 word answers, and usually it’s grunts. She is losing that spark for teaching because she wants those connections with her students to really enjoy the teaching process, but with how hard she’s working, she just isn’t seeing any results…. We know that students are most disconnected with school and teachers. We also know that this has a negative impact on classroom community, reduces teacher motivation, makes it harder to motivate kids, and obviously impacts academics. The fact is teaching is the art of connection, but how do we do this when the to do lists pile up, we have too many kids, and too little time?
