  • Guest Teacher: Week 3
    In this episode, I was a substitute teacher for elementary music, High school SPED math, and 5th grade English language arts.
    As an SPED co-teacher, I had the opportunity to watch other teachers teach, and, in doing so, I saw the challenges of teaching high school math in a way that makes it engaging for students who struggle with the subject.
