Show Notes:

In Episode 60, Cindy interviews Mary Chappell (@LiteracyMary), a Department of Education Special Education Curriculum Specialist. With 25 years of education experience teaching elementary and special education, she is now supporting special education teachers, especially related to literacy. She found herself needing to motivate teachers to utilize a mandated program, and wanting to support them in doing so. Therefore, she turned to the literature.

Mary gave a presentation that provides an overview of her findings, recurring themes, key takeaways, actionable steps, and her references. You can view the slides here.
