Special Education in the Covid-19 Era: One UK Educator's Perspective
Show Notes


January 2022 marks the one year anniversary of a conversation had with Ivie Okwuegbuna, a UK Educator with a focus on teaching children with disabilities and neurodifferences. When we first spoke, vaccines were just starting to be distributing in certain parts of the world. She spoke about considerations and risks educators took when determining how to teach in the midst of a pandemic that had the potential of disproportionately affecting the student population they serve. 

Although one year old, we are still in the midst of the pandemic. So, I wanted to revisit this conversation to have on record one educator's take on teaching in this era during a pandemic. Hopefully, more conversations like this can aid us as a society in better equipping teachers in crisis.
