Episode 61: A Special Teacher

Wowza!! Grab your Kleenex before pushing play on this one!

What an amazing and impactful episode this is.

This week’s guest is another fellow podcaster and special education teacher. I didn’t have any idea when I created my podcast that there were so many podcasts hosted by special education teachers, but this podcaster has a different story from the majority of us.

Paul Hubbard is a special education teacher, but he is able to see the field of special education through a different lens than most of us because he has some of the same characteristics as some of our students.

Paul's story is both heartwarming and inspirational. Listen in as he shares how he was diagnosed with ADHD and Dyslexia and how the power of just a few key individuals in his life put him on a path to eventually become a special education teacher and help students just like him.

His story really hits home and makes you stop and think about what kind of impact you could (should) be making on your students and I’m so thankful that I had the opportunity to share Paul’s story with you.

Paul Hubbard has provided over 30 Professional Developments on technology integration in his school district. He is a Google Certified Teacher pursuing his master’s degree in educational technology.  During the remote learning, Paul initiated weekly video announcements to promote a sense of normalcy with students school wide. He now produces daily announcements, and has become a role model for all the students in his school through career education, reinforcement of expectations, and positive lighthearted fun. Paul also has written and received over eight educational grants for his classroom and school. In his free time, he works on restoring his 130-year-old home with his wife Brianna, and puppy Lilo. 

I’d love it if you’d connect with Paul:
