On this episode I sit down with Lisa Toebben, a Special Ed. Teacher, Coach, & one of my all around favorite people to discuss her two most important classroom expectations, allow others to learn and no trash talking of self or others!

Lisa explains how “going on kid time” and letting go of perfection have helped her reduce stress and anxiety allowing greater success with students. “In the special education world, you have to move at the pace of your students rather than the pace of the curriculum, which is set by someone else outside of your classroom.”  

Her anxiety got the better of her in 2017 to the point she thought about quitting.  She decided to do a reset and now follows these rules that helped her feel better physically and mentally.
