Today I talked with THE INCREDIBLE Teacher Tay and Mr. Piedmonte. We talked about the most random things...aka complete and utter nonsense. I wanted an episode that was light and free! I really enjoyed hearing their 2 truths and a lie, their music education stories, they opinions on random things, and their love of music. If you have time and you want to listen to a random fun episode then welcome!!!

This quick episode goes through things that I would consider when thinking about my first day of school in a special education classroom:

1. Consistent Schedule

2. Assuming no one knows how to follow the rules

3. Not expecting high academic output

4. Frequent Rewards

Kaysie is amazing! Part 2 of our conversation as we talk about what to know about being a new teacher and HOW MUCH WE LOVE OUR JOBS!
