Because the enormity and intensity of this work can be overwhelming, it is critical for special education teachers who work with students with social, emotional, and behavioral challenges to share the workload with other stakeholders (e.g., administration, general education teachers, families, paraprofessionals) in order to avoid burnout. Although special education teachers serve as case managers for students receiving behavioral interventions through an IEP, supporting students with behavioral needs is a shared responsibility. To ensure special educators do not end up on an island addressing all students’ behavioral needs alone, it's important for special education teachers to advocate for the provisions outlined in the Individuals With Disabilities Education Improvement Act (IDEA).

For , here are some conversation starters you can use to support advocacy through IDEA as it relates to behavior management. Check out the full article in the Jan./Feb. 2021 issue of our research-to-practice journal, TEACHING Exceptional Children: https://tinyurl.com/t3bvaa3t

Hello!

I am excited to announce that Weber’s CEC will be doing the Wasatch Saving coupon books again!

These books are $30, and are filled with over 200 buy 1 get 1 free coupons for food, golfing, entertainment, etc!!

Here are a few improvements that have been made to Wasatch Coupons:
1. Everything is now on the app, so you don't have to remember the card, just show the app, and you can redeem the coupon!

2. Weber, Davis, Salt Lake, Ogden, and Utah county are all combined into 1 book! So, if you live in provo and then come to Ogden, your Wasatch coupons are still valid! If you are traveling to one of the county's listed above Wasatch coupons will even tell you what is close to your location!

3. The books also now last for a full year instead of only 10 months!
There are so many other great things about this book and is completely worth your money and time! If you go out to eat even three times a year, this book is worth it!

Some of the coupons include: Costa Vida, Mountain Donuts, McDonalds, Coldstone, Culvers, Swig, Waffle Love, Zeppes, Pizza Hut, and so many more! Tons of golfing deals and deals for Ax Throwing, Escape Rooms, Swimming Pools, Seaquest, and much more!
