Students are not broken.
Teachers are not broken.
The system is broken!
This podcast was a live podcast for International Podcast Day on Sept. 30, 2022.
This is a 30 minute listen that talks about how it is the system and not the students or the teachers that we need to change. The last fifteen minutes of the podcast discuss realistic solutions we can implement to make our education system better.
Thanks to Jeff Revilla and his production company that produced the event,

Do not miss this interview! We not only discuss Laura's books and her upcoming podcast, the Autism Advocate, but we hit upon some very real topics that teachers, parents, and communities are facing right now. We talk about how we can improve our public school system, how neurodivergent learners effect us all, how we can support parents, how we can support teachers, and how we can work together to make education and overall society better. I am excited to share this with you! It is not my typical podcast and it is almost 2 hours worth of content - but it is sooooo worth listening to the entire thing. So much so, that I decided not to edit any of our conversation!!!!

We discuss how he utilizes Kids Freeze Dance as a part of instruction in his classroom and how other teachers and parent can also utilize it. It is more than a brain break, it is purposeful movement designed to allow students to learn through variety. It helps them engage in their learning and to become part of their classroom community.  Everyone gets to enjoy the rhythm  in this episode of Ed. Talk!

I had the privilege of interviewing Michela Laverty about her thoughts on inclusion classes and how she uses peer tutoring to ensure her students are made to feel as part of the school community. We also dive into what all staff members can do at the school level as well as what the district can do to help students and staff make sure that our students with special needs have their needs met in a social emotional way and not just academically.
