In this episode I have a conversation with Ashley Lutz, who has been a middle school self-contained special ed teacher for 7 years, working with students with intellectual disabilities.
We talk about how she didn’t have any curriculum in her first year and how she creates and differentiates materials to meet the varied levels of her students. She gives great ideas on what to do if you ever need to create your own curriculum.
We also discuss what errorless learning is and how she implemented an adaptive music program including an unforgettable performance. She’s a mother of three (including nine-month-old twins) on sabbatical and plans to return to teaching next year.
