Our guest for this episode is Leah Moore, a high school English teacher and a 2009 recipient of the prestigious, “Teacher of the Year” award, which is presented to ten New York City Teachers annually.
She also teaches adaptive theater to mostly non-verbal students, which gave her an opportunity to learn a whole new way to approach a curriculum that she knows and loves. Leah is passionate about storytelling and getting your voice heard, whether that voice is in a traditional, general education classroom, a non-traditional theater. or a non-traditional, special-education theater class.
We can’t wait to share this interview with you!
Show Highlights:
Leah reveals how her daughter’s diagnosis of Cri Du Chat has shaped her own understanding of what education, access, and inclusion looks like for her. Leah also has twin sons, one of which has special needs. Advocacy and connecting to other parents have become very important to Leah. #explodethenarrative - Leah shares her thoughts on this hashtag and what inspired her to start writing her memoir. The secrets to a joyful and successful adaptive theater classroom. A very important lesson that Leah has learned in her adaptive theater classroom that is great outside the classroom, as well, is to just let things take the time they take. Parents need to give themselves permission to make a mess of things and to leave the shame and the guilt behind. How being in a classroom with special needs kids has changed Leah’s perspective as a parent of special needs children.
