Amazing
Wise women with wonderful, useful advice.
I love listening!
I love listening to this podcast because these are two outstanding behaviorists who are currently in the field and are giving us advice on daily issues that they know are current. They know what it’s like to be in the classroom. Their advice is simple yet important and little changes in the classroom can make big improvements!
PD that actually is useful
