You’re Not Alone: Collaborating with Specialists for Student Success

In this episode, Heather and Candace talk about what true collaboration looks like in schools—not just checking boxes, but building partnerships that actually move the needle for kids. Candace shares her experiences working with general educators, paraprofessionals, specialists, and families, and what happens when we show up to help, not to compete. They explore the power of both behind-the-scenes teamwork and visible, in-the-moment collaboration that students can see and learn from. This conversation is full of real talk about staying student-centered, navigating tough meetings, and finding small ways to build trust across roles—even when the work is messy.Explore More with Us inside The TLC Network!Learn more in this episode’s show notes and join a vibrant community of behavior-focused school professionals committed to their professional growth.Join Our NewsletterStay updated with our latest episodes and receive exclusive content every week.
