    Episode 118: Observing Readiness to Learn with Dr. Lynette Scotese-Wojtila

    In this episode we discuss observing readiness in our students to learn. We have a special guest, Dr. Lynette Scotese-Wojtila, to talk about observing signs of readiness in our learners.  Dr. Scotese-Wojtila co-hosts a bi-weekly podcast on those in the spectrum and others with neurological differences using an approach she coined called The S.U.C.C.E.S.S. Approach(SM). (We’ve linked the podcast and website below.)  Dr. Scotese-Wojtila is an Autism specialist, but notes that we all need to be in a state of readiness to learn in our classroom for lessons to truly take hold.  It is a great reflective episode as we talk about meeting our students where they learn to provoke in them the best that they have the potential to be.  Come learn with us!
