The BVI Category Explained: Tools, Access, and Empowerment

In this episode of Conversations with the Co-op, host Jeffrey Lee sits down with Louise Flickinger, Teacher/Consultant for Students with Visual Impairments at the Paul Bunyan Education Cooperative. With dual licensure in Learning Disabilities and Blind/Visually Impaired education, Louise brings both expertise and advocacy to this conversation focused on the BVI disability category. Together, they explore how students qualify for special education services under the Blind/Visually Impaired category by breaking down the two-part criteria involving both medical diagnosis and functional evaluation. Louise explains common misconceptions such as the belief that glasses fix everything or that digital means accessible, and offers practical strategies to support student independence, access, and success. Listeners will gain a clearer understanding of the barriers BVI students face, including curriculum accessibility, social cues, and public perceptions. The episode also highlights how educators can create inclusive learning environments through individualized support and instructional clarity. This episode is a must-listen for educators, case managers, and teams working to ensure that all students, regardless of vision, can thrive academically and socially.

Testing Supports, Not Students: Shifting the Mindset in Special Education

In this episode of Conversations with the Co-op, host Lainey Sandberg sits down with Jeffrey Lee, K-12 Special Education Coordinator at PBEC, to discuss a powerful mindset shift in special education: Are we testing the student, or are we testing the supports? Together, they unpack how starting with the assumption that students can succeed—when the right supports are in place—can change the conversation around interventions and placement decisions. Jeffrey shares how educators can move from focusing on student deficits to critically evaluating the effectiveness of supports and interventions. Key takeaways include: * Why the default assumption should be that students can succeed in general education with proper supports. * How to reframe team discussions around data and interventions. * Practical steps teams can take to assess and adjust supports before making placement decisions. Tune in to learn how testing supports, not students, leads to better outcomes and empowers educators to continually refine their practice.

Liker at det er både Podcaster (godt utvalg) og lydbøker i samme app, pluss at man kan holde Podcaster og lydbøker atskilt i biblioteket.
Bra app. Oversiktlig og ryddig. MYE bra innhold⭐️⭐️⭐️
