Help Teach Episode 30

Bonus content for Episode 35 with Gillian Nycum about neuropluralism in the classroom and her work, Authentic Front by Gillian Nycum (soon to be Fields of Potential).

In this episode, we take a new approach to the challenge of neurodiversity in the classroom and offer a simple solution for teachers to make their students feel welcome: the C.A.I.R. framework.

Join Mihai and Gillian Nycum as they discuss the concept of "neuropluralism"; not just inviting neurodiverse people to our table, but being curious about what goes on at theirs. They distill the challenges of balancing a classroom of diverse neurotypes into a simple acronym - the C.A.I.R. framework - designed to help maximize students' potential as learners and teachers' potential as leaders.

In this episode, we explain the "accessibility Spidey-sense" that often accompanies life as a disability advocate or ally and how we can more effectively share the work of learning together in the classroom.

Join Mihai and Talina Papazian as they discuss allyship, advocacy, and the variety of hats disabled and non-disabled people wear in pursuit of a more accessible community. They break down the "sixth sense" for inaccessible environments that advocates often develop, discuss different lenses and their impact on an ally's daily life, and offer suggestions for lightening the load of accessibility learning in the classroom through effective resource integration.
