#SpedChatSaturday - THE DEELIO

Who's ready?! 

I have been SO excited the last couple of weeks preparing the perfect 11-12 week schedule for #SpedChatSaturday with some AMAZING educators from the #SpedTribe Google+ Community. THANK YOU, to everyone who has been so dedicated in this process; specifically, Emily McDonald, the best co-leader ever and an encouraging friend (who doesn't mind if I look like a hot-mess on our morning video chats). It is our hope that you will find the topics covered the next 11-12 weeks to be beneficial to your practice as a, new or experienced, teacher and that you will connect with other special educators, build long-lasting relationships, and find useful resources to add to your never-ending "toolbox."

Please see the schedule below for weekly topics: 

Every week, we are SO fortunate to have a Leader/Host that will support the week's topic through some type of social media platform; although, EVERYONE is able to create something for that week's topic (whether it be a blog post, IG posts, Pinterest, Periscope - you name it!). Each topic will begin on a Saturday and end the following Friday. If you're not able to join in right away on Saturday, no worries! This is an all-week adventure!

If you are interested in hosting a topic {labeled TBD} you can find our Google Doc on our Google+ community and input your information. :D

NEXT SATURDAY marks our first #SpedChatSaturday - featuring Back-to-School! Who wants to think about that yet, right?! But, I will be hosting an {exciting} link-up that will allow you to get a jump-start on planning for the new school year.

Here's a little sneak-peek of what to look forward to:

I'll have some fun and engaging Periscopes this/next week and hosting a linky on my blog, so that we can all share our Back-to-School Countdowns. The templates for this will be posted this Wednesday, July 22nd, on my blog. 

If you have any questions, please post them in the comments below!

{Please note: #SpedChatSaturday is opened to ALL educators who work with students with special needs - including general education teachers, resource teachers, self-contained teachers, and related services personnel.}

What excites you the most about #SpedChatSaturday?!
