Teaching Sass

Hello Teacher Friends (or friends of teachers)!

I recently got an amazing opportunity to utilize my classroom special education knowledge beyond the classroom, working with teachers in a variety of placements and settings, providing them support and resources as needed. After a lot of careful deliberation, I decided to take the new position.
While I am thrilled to be working as a Clinical Manager with The Stepping Stones Group, I had to leave work I love - working with Transition-age students in the community setting.

ATTENTION: any teachers out there looking for a job in the LA/South Bay area? For a change? Apply for the Wiseburn Unified School District Adult Transition Program position! It was a job I loved at an excellent district that provided a lot of support.
Check it out and feel free to IM me with any specific questions about the position. Transition positions do not come up often, so in the words of the infomercials: ACT NOW! 😂👍🏼

Just a word of advice to any new/in-process teachers, still going through the credential process - if you are interested, apply anyway and see what happens. NOTHING VENTURED, NOTHING GAINED. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Hey all!

I've been working on a way to make watching a movie be a little more intentional and thoughtful for my students. I don't want to rob anyone of the joy of simply watching a movie, but I'm teacher and I definitely want to hear more about how much my students are following the sequence of events, how they are growing in their summarization skills, and truly, what their opinions are. So I made this and plan to use it with an end of the day movie, distance-learning style!

I will definitely be adding to this product, but the simple format can be utilized with a book OR a movie. It's all about differentiating for the skill level!

Happy Friday-Eve, everyone!

I've been working really hard, trying to come up with halfway decent solutions to conducting distance learning with moderate/severe special education life skills students.
