  • Hazard - Don't Do Special Education Alone

    Stop thinking you're supposed to do Special Education alone. Parents & Teachers if you had an honest conversation with each other, you'd find out that nobody expects one person to know everything about Special Education.

    It's time to stop figuring out special education by yourself and do these 3 things:

    1. Lean into your expertise.

    2. Be humble instead of humiliated when you need help.

    3. Stop faking it. You're not supposed to know it all.

    Decide you are done doing special education alone. We have too many tears, too many people feeling burnt out, and too much turnover in special education. You can flip the negative feelings when you surround yourself with people who get it!

  • Stop Cramming Goals Into the IEP & Start Leaving Space for Learning Naturally

    After 20+ years of writing IEPs with parents and teachers, I've learned a few things...

    1. You're never going to get every goal a child needs into the IEP. 2. A child will shutdown if you stuff their day with direct instruction hour after hour. 3. A child needs time to "be a kid" in their school day. This is often when their biggest milestones will be met.
