Our guest today is Becky A. Johns, wife, mother, blogger, and children’s author. Today she discusses her newest book, “God Made Me Washable.” The book, beautifully illustrated by Emily Springer, reminds all ages that God is a God of second chances. When we get messy, not only can we scrub our outsides with soap and water, we can embrace the love of God, and He will cleanse our hearts through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ. Follow the messy adventures of Caleb and see how God made him washable…I’m sure he made you that way too.

FocusED Show Notes with Lorea Martinez 
Don’t miss what Lorea says about teaching SEL: “We wouldn’t let reading teachers teach the skills of reading without knowing how to read well themselves.” 

Lorea talks about the need to practice SEL in front of students. They don’t just learn because we teach them the skills. They learn because we show them. 

This conversation doesn’t gloss over the incredible needs in schools today, both socially and academically. 

Lorea talked about the system changes that need to be made for SEL to work. 

Dr. Martinez talks about the fact that we’re teaching teachers how to teach students but we’re ignoring the fact that we also need to help teachers to help themselves. 

Don’t miss what she says about her HEART acronym. 

We discuss the need for teachers and leaders to process their emotions so that they don’t come up against a wall when they’ve swallowed them for too long. 

The E in HEART is “elect your responses,” which is about our behavioral patterns and making better choices than what we do on autopilot. 

Lorea provides listeners with specific strategies to use. Don’t miss what she says about taking the weather report with popsicle sticks. 

We discuss the need for leaders to have real conversations about how people feel. 

We love the fact that she highlights the need for leaders to celebrate and praise the staff. We have to continue to find the positive moments and bright spots. 

Joe follows up to underscore the importance of praise, using our specific praise model, and the way we need to be very intentional about celebrations and individual accomplishments.

In this episode, Larissa interviews Ashley Pennell, a Senior Customer Success Manager at Branching Minds, about the overlap between MTSS (Multi-Tiered System of Supports) and special education. They discuss the confusion surrounding these two concepts and how they work together. The conversation concludes with strategies for administrators to help teachers understand the role of special education in the MTSS process.

Takeaways
MTSS is a framework for supporting all students and setting up equitable practices, while special education is a service within the MTSS framework.
Data analysis plays a crucial role in both MTSS and special education, helping to identify students who may need additional support or evaluation for a disability.
Challenges in implementing MTSS as an administrator include the siloed approach to education, lack of universal screening processes, and the need for training and resources.
Strategies for administrators include starting with equitable practices like universal screening, utilizing the expertise of special education teachers and school psychologists, and fostering open conversations about MTSS and special education.
