Teaching is hard. You know it’s true…I believe (especially right now) it’s one of the hardest jobs there is. And to do it well, it is essential that special educators advocate for themselves. Educators never cease to amaze me with their ingenuity and grit. But truly, no one can do this job alone. Our special education system is actually built to keep it from being a one-man show. And yet many times our classrooms feel like an island with no where to turn for help.

Asking for help is a critical skill and this episode covers why that is so.  I also talk about the barriers that keep educators from advocating for themselves.  And finally I have 3 tips that can help advocate most effectively for what you need to make your classroom what you know it can be.
