"I am in awe of the innovative, relevant, and incredible motivational ideas! This tool takes many of the most difficult and challenging areas of special education and provides strategies, guides, and daily reflections that educators need to continue or reignite the passion that called them to serve as special educators."
"This calendar contains helpful hints that address all aspects of a teacher’s life. Where was this calendar when I graduated college?"
"Makes daily tasks easier to remember and complete. It also provides the important opportunity for teachers to assist students with special needs and allow them to progress as much as possible."
"The authors highlight the importance of developing a habit of mind for special educators to make a note of their daily observations and reflections about a frustration experienced, a successful new idea they tried, or something new they learned or plan on learning. Teacher candidates, teachers, and teacher educators will find this tool extremely beneficial."
