Welcome! I'm Heidi Ravenscraft, a 20 year special education teacher veteran. I say "veteran" not because I'm super spectacular or flashy with my teaching, but because I'VE SEEN SOME STUFF. I've taught from 4 year olds to 21 year olds and everywhere in between. I've taught in traditional brick and mortar schools, charter schools, and am now just finished year three of full time virtual special education education. My husband, who taught high school history and coached football before becoming a church facilities guy (yes, real job!) and I are raising two middle school daughters.
When I'm not driving around said middle school daughters, I'm hanging out with our cows, chickens, and pigs on our small farm. I'm passionate about teaching, engaging and creating relationships with our students, and working smarter.
In many ways, the COVID closure showed me how much I loved being at home. It also showed me how many of our students with special needs could actually thrive in that environment. However, many of the ideas or resources that I may share here aren't just limited to the virtual classroom.
