Happy Tuesday, Everyone!
We launched a BRAND NEW Teaching with CLASS® podcast today! This is our last episode of season 4, and we will return with more remarkable episodes in 2024!
This episode dives into the world of special education, focusing on the importance of individualized interactions in the classroom. Our guest, a seasoned educator, Mary-Margaret Gardiner, shares her insights and experiences in working with special needs children.
The discussion ranges from understanding each child's unique cues and needs to effective strategies for classroom observations. Mary-Margaret highlights the importance of understanding each child's individual needs and cues and how teachers can use that understanding to foster powerful interactions that support unique learning styles.
Mary-Margaret has been actively involved in Early Care and Education since 1976. A graduate of the University of NC-Greensboro in the field of Child Development was the impetus behind her passion for supporting educators, families, and children. Mary-Margaret was a teacher, a director, an area director of childcare centers, and in 2007 became involved with Virginia Star Quality Initiative, where she was first introduced to the CLASS® measure. She joined Teachstone in 2010 and has been a trainer, observer, and SME since then. She enjoys music, horses, gardening, and spending time with her family.
