Courtney Dios grew up with a learning difference in the 90s, and we talk about how she unlearned the messaging she had internalized that she was stupid and lazy, and has now come full circle teaching at the Shelton School, a world renowned school dedicated to designing and sharing the best educational practices for students with learning differences.
We talk about how she came to end up at Shelton as a 9th grade, what school was like before, and how her experience at Shelton built confidence and self advocacy skills that are still with her today.
And she continues to pay it forward by coming back to Shelton as a teacher and creating the wildly popular elective "Life Hacks", where students learn everything from how to communicate with different personality types to how to change a tire.
By the end of the conversation you'll wonder, like I do, can we ALL go to The Shelton School?
About Courtney Dios:
After graduating from The Shelton School in Dallas, TX, Courtney attended Auburn University, graduating with a major in graphic design and a minor in business. She is in her 5th year as a teacher at the school that gave her wings and her mission is to pay it forward to all her students as well.
