Structured Special Ed

Big changes for next school year ✨

One of the hardest yet easiest decisions I have made in a long time is to give up my full time SEL specialist job next school year to go part time so I can stay home part time with baby Larson

I absolutely love my job and my students at both of my schools but I jumped at the opportunity to only stay at one school and only work 2.5 days a week next school year

I feel like this is the best of both worlds and I’m so thankful I even get this option in my role.. I couldn’t be happier to still get the chance to work my job but also get to be a part time stay at home mama

Now the not so fun job of packing and moving everything in this office to my other school or back home but excited for these big life changes 😍

So I recently asked y’all for your top favorite SEL book recommendations for primary grades and with an overwhelming number of votes were these books by Dr. Daniela Owen

So of course I bought them

And feel in love with them 😍

So I just figured I would share and that they deserved a shout out 📣

Life update ✨

I am so excited to announce that I am heading back to college.. but this time as an instructor

I am so excited to be returning to my Alma Mater, Arizona State University, to work with and teach students who are going to school to be teachers

This has truly been a dream come true and something I have been working towards and dreaming of for so long that I can’t believe it’s finally happening

I will still be working during the day for both of my elementary schools as a specialist because I truly love my job and my students and I don’t want to leave public education but I am so excited to enter the world of higher education as faculty and see what comes from this new adventure
