This episode is a special one in that my guest, Sarah Magallano, shares some excellent stories of how general ed and special ed teachers can work together to help students succeed in their least restrictive environments. Plus, this is my first episode where my guest is a general ed teacher!  Great things can happen when all parties team up to help students.  Don't be afraid to be proactive in collaborating with teachers and other stakeholders at your school! Here are a few of the topics we discussed:

Creative incentives for behavior rewardsSolve teasing problems by developing leadersEliminating hunger can improve behaviorHow one student's kindness has gotten worldwide attentionTeaching mindfulnessTips for special ed teachers/instructional aides in general ed classesAt the end, I also added some tips and stories of my own from when I taught in the classroom.

This episode is releasing right after World Kindness Day, which works well since several stories are great examples of kindness! I hope one of the stories inspires you to go out and do something similar! Get links and more on the website: https://lisagoodell.com/podcast18
