Me too.This week, I’m kicking off a new mini-series answering your most-asked questions, starting with one I get all the time: “How do I support students with special needs in my mainstream classroom? There has to be more help out there.”Spoiler alert: There should be more help. But in the meantime, I’m walking you through what you can actually control, without burning yourself out or playing superhero.I’ll give you a front seat to:The real talk I wish I got at uni about inclusionWhy “just differentiate” is the most unhelpful advice everThe classroom systems and routines that actually make a differenceAnd the role your own nervous system plays in it allThis one’s not about perfection.
