"It's never assumed that we'll enter spaces with the 'cool kids.' It's never assumed that we'll be in with professional peers as out, as our authentic selves- flappy and happy and needing hearing protection, and these types of things that tend to attract attention. It's assumed that you'll mask, that you'll blend in to get in", says Jim Hoerricks. Jim joins this episode to discuss being a special education teacher, the problems with teaching students to read, and his upcoming book that teaches literacy for gestalt language processors.
