In this episode of Safer Ed, we are joined by Jacqueline Monteith, who discusses STEAM Safety for Students with additional needs.The conversation begins by discussing some challenges that students with disabilities and additional needs come across and educators' ability to support those additional needs. As Jaqueline points out, each student with specialized needs has a wide range of challenges depending on their individualized needs. To make students safer and more successful in learning environments, educators need to recognize the unique needs of these students and work to accommodate and modify learning with them in mind. Part of that accommodation/modification structure is Individualized Education Plans (IEPs), which is a major focus of the first part of this discussion.Overall this conversation sets a great groundwork for supporting students with disabilities and how schools, educators, and administrators can best support students with additional needs.About the participant:Jacqueline Monteith is an Instructional Coach for Science and STEM for the Frontier School Division and an example of educational excellence.
