178. What Is Your Classroom Telling You Before Summer?
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
The end of the school year reveals a lot about how a classroom is really functioning.
In this episode, we’re talking about what late May behavior, routines, and classroom energy might actually be telling you — especially in special education classrooms where so much depends on structure and predictability.
Inside this episode:
🟡 Why some routines are still working (even when everyone is tired)
🟡 What end-of-year exhaustion reveals about classroom systems
🟡 How to notice which routines truly support independence
🟡 Why simpler systems often survive May better than complicated ones
This isn’t about overhauling your classroom before summer.
It’s about noticing what reduced stress, created independence, and helped your classroom keep moving — because those are usually the systems worth keeping.
If you're a busy special education teacher looking for tips, tricks, and resources to save you precious time, I've got you covered! I'm here to help you regain your confidence in the classroom and feel calm and collected as a special educator.
Tune in every Friday for practical tips, tools, and the support you need to to THRIVE in the classroom.
