Special Educators Resource Room Podcast: Real Talk for Special Education Teachers

145. Planning an Inclusion Lesson? Start Here

Planning for inclusion doesn’t have to mean creating a whole second lesson—or carrying the entire differentiation load by yourself. In this episode, I’m sharing three practical moves I use to make inclusion work without the overwhelm. Whether you’ve got five minutes to prep or five co-teachers to coordinate with, these strategies will help you focus on what matters most for your student.

 We’ll talk about how to choose one clear non-negotiable goal, how to pre-load support in ways that are simple and sustainable, and how to create a solid “Plan B” for when inclusion doesn’t go according to plan. 

If you’re looking for real strategies you can actually use—without spending your Sunday planning for someone else’s classroom—this episode is for you. And if you’re working on building student independence across settings? Be sure to check out the resources inside the Complete Independent Work Club, linked below.
