Teaching Reading Through Gamification | Episode #46 - Cabrina Lafonte

Cabrina (@cabrinascreativeclassroom) is a teacher in Virginia and is currently in her sixth year in the profession. On this episode, Sabrina and I discuss the specialization process of Special Education, Multi-Sensory Reading Instruction, gamifying her classroom, teaching in the ‘armpit’ of her school, academic regressions from her students after Covid, teaching parents to teach during Covid, tactics she uses to change up the classroom, how we rarely have a class in the same grade who are actually at the same grade level, the recent uptick in people hiring Educational Advocates and their presence in schools, the training (or lack thereof) for inclusive Education for handling practical scenarios, how Cabrina would map out a university course for Inclusive Education, how she can no longer ‘hang’ on vacations with the levels of teacher tired, the importance of returning respect for teachers, and, much more.
