Special education still in “deep trouble” and needs reform–according to California’s President of the State Board of Education, Michael Kirst. Here are the article about his comments (that includes some from me) and the podcast–again, Mike Kirst, followed by me.

I do believe we’re getting the word out…slowly, slowly.

The podcast is about 17 minutes long. The special education segment with Mike Kirst starts around minute 8 and mine starts around minute 11. Enjoy!

Let me know what you think! Onward and upward!

I attended the EdSource meeting last week in Oakland California and heard Michael Kirst speak about the need for reforming special education. The system is antiquated… and needs “another look.” As you can read, the article cites several people, including yours truly and gives a shout out to my book, Special Education 2.0.

Onward and upward.

I’m an optimist and do believe we’ll make the necessary changes–Step by step, little by little. Thank you, Mike, for getting the word out.
