"Teachers are classroom leaders. Principals and Assistant Principals are school leaders. It comes down to leadership. If you think about the classroom, the classroom is very much like a small organization. The teacher is like the CEO and the students are employees. They have an outcome they are trying to produce which is student achievement." - Dr. Gavoni

We all talk about self-care, mental health, and making time for ourself. However, are you doing it? We are all busy school professionals and probably find it difficult to eat healthy and remain active when we are teaching. We may not be able to eat lunch because our students need us. We may be writing lesson plans, grading papers, or writing IEP goals at night instead of working out or prepping meals. On this episode, Daniela Galvez shares 6 steps that will help you actually meet your goals!

Welcome to the Class on Task Podcast! 

You will learn how the science of applied behavior analysis (ABA) can be used in schools to improve education. We will cover a variety of topics on this podcast and thought collaboration was a perfect way to start. We want to share about ABA, but we also want to learn from other professionals (e.g., speech and language pathologists, occupational therapists, administrators) on ways to help our students be successful and help educators! 

In this episode, we discuss the importance of collaborating with other professionals in order to provide the best support for students.
