In this episode of Be The Exception in Special Education, I'm sharing 5 real things I've learned to do differently after the first quarter of the school year. These are the shifts I make when the fall honeymoon fades, behaviors spike, and burnout starts creeping in. If you're nodding "yep" to all of that—this one's for you.

Inside the episode, we'll cover:

• Why I stop reinventing my centers

• The power of reviewing, not re-teaching

• What I always prep before November gets wild

• Why visuals matter more than ever in Q2

• How to weave seasonal fun into academic goals

You'll also get a peek at what's inside The Exceptional Collective this month—including Fall Leaves math + reading, Carrots SEL, Main Idea + Counting to 50 units, and more.

🎧 Listen now—and rethink how you're approaching November.
