S1E3 - Inclusion in the Classroom: A Starting Point
Episode Notes
A few things of note - if you watch the youtube version of this episode, you will be wildly entertained by the shenanigans of my laptop that was taking movements of both Theresa and Megan and putting reactions on the screen out of context. Some were hilarious like the balloons toward the end and some were so obviously opposite to the point we were making that it was distracting. Apologies to the listeners. Learning in public. We will do better.
As always, you can find our resources on our website - https://www.916schools.org/page/collaborative-intervention-network (https://www.916schools.org/page/collaborative-intervention-network)
and you can also find a form to submit feedback and topic ideas on that website as well.
See you later CINners.
