This episode is part 2 of my conversation with Michael Faggella-Luby. In the first half of the conversation, we discussed lessons learned in his educational journey, and paused on an extremely critical point: teachers do the very best they can and it’s important to remember we work within a system of supports. The second half of our conversation highlights the value of community for teachers and students. We explore how Special Education law has a history in the civil rights movement and equity for all. We wrap up with an optimistic discussion about where the field of Special Education is now and how it can continue to improve. 

Here are some of the resources Dr. Faggella-Luby shared in this part of our conversation:

• Scrum: The Art of Doing Twice the Work in Half the Time by Jeff Sutherland
• Watership Down by Richard Adams
