SPED Staffing Shortage Part 1

Welcome back to OEA Grow! In this episode, Venus speaks with Katie Gates, Kenny Long, and Kim Sullivan, an elementary special education team who are also members of the Eugene Education Association.

Collaboration is the theme in this episode. Kenny, Kim, and Katie, affectionately known as “the special k’s,” speak about the positive impact of collaboration and support of a student’s family. They share their experience with how to adjust to staffing shortages and ever-changing schedules within the school setting. They offer tips and strategies on how to address staffing and communication issues.

You won’t want to miss their ideas on how to efficiently communicate and collaborate with specialists and others invested in student support and special education. Listen in to grow.
