Are you feeling overwhelmed by the demands of teaching special education and motherhood? When it’s more than possible to devote all of your time and attention to each, how can you possibly balance the two? And during our current crisis, how can you meet the needs of your students and your own kids?
Rebekah Poe of Lessons and Lattes is my guest on today’s podcast. A special education teacher and mom to a first-grader, Rebekah shares her journey as a professional, mother, and friend. These valuable lessons, which can be put to use during this time of the COVID crisis, will be just as valuable when we return to more typical school and home lives. Rebekah provides relatable tips for special education teachers, talks about her favorite school supply that also acts as a behavior reinforcer, and shares ways to incorporate learning into everyday household activities.
In this episode you will learn:
- What a resource room is and the types of instruction that occur there
- How to balance the roles of teacher and mom
- Four Special Ed Teacher Must-Haves
- How students communicate through behavior - and how to “listen”
