Signs You’re Definitely a Special Education Teacher* You have more visual schedules than you do pens.* Your pockets are full of fidgets* You can set up a calm-down corner in under 5 minutes.* You celebrate the smallest wins like they’re Olympic victories.* You’ve perfected the art of laminating EVERYTHING.* You can predict a meltdown faster than a weather forecast predicts rain.* You have a love-hate relationship with Velcro.* You’ve explained what ‘PDA’ means more times than you can count.* You’ve mastered the teacher ‘look..How many of these do you relate to? Share your favorite in the comments!....#teachingautism #spedtruth #spedlife #spedteachers #spedclassroom #spedtribe #spedclassroom ... See MoreSee Less

✨ It’s OK if Your 2025 TeacherGoal is ….. ✨* Not bringing work home on the weekends.* Removing your work email app from your phone.* Leaving school as soon as the bell rings—at least once a week!* Saying ‘no’ to an extra committee or project.* Skipping the fancy bulletin boards and using simple ones instead.* Using pre-made resources to save time instead of creating your own.* Taking a mental health day when you need it.* Setting boundaries with colleagues who drain your energy.* Focusing on progress, not perfection, for your students—and yourself!* Asking for help when you need it instead of trying to do it all..What’s your 2025 teacher goal? 🤫 Pssst.. It’s also ok if you decide to not set a 2025 teacher goal at all!.....#teachingautism #spedteacher #spedtribe #spedteachers #spedclassroom #specialeducationteacher ... See MoreSee Less
