Episode #64 and 65 feature my conversation with Dr. Emily McGree.
If you’ve heard the term neurodivergent but aren’t sure what it means, or if you have observed behavior in students that indicate that they may learn differently, but you can’t target how to guide them, or if you are in need of resources for how to help students with anxiety, then stay tuned!
Emily has so much to share and you will find her insight and advice incredibly valuable as you teach privately or in groups.
