I am a special education teacher and sped consultant who upon leaving teaching started a school and haven't looked back. I believe so much in the work that I am doing that I now show others- parents and other teachers, who leave teaching, but DON'T want to leave the profession of teaching, how to start a school too.
For most teachers, starting a school has never entered their minds, but it's a real option who feel called to the profession that they really don't see themselves doing anything else, but can't stay in the classroom as they currently know it.
I also talk about topics surrounding teacher burnout, leaving teaching and teacherpreneur -ship. I LOVE special education so my goal reminds to share hope and dispel myths about not only special education and those with learning disabilities, but teachers who are also interested in starting schools, tutoring centers, or just teachers being in business. You can follow my journey as I will attempt to do teacher vlogs as well.
May i ask if you are ability to does video for the following: Auditory processing, visual perception, Visual motor deficit if you haven’t already done so. This would really be helpful. Thank you 🙏🏾 ❤
10/10. I thought it was “only” ADHD (diagnosed at age 12-13) and that I “couldn’t focus enough” (which I had to do without medication, because I could just “try harder”).🥲 I always forgot how to think and I have time blindness. I thought I was “unintelligent”, but I do better in language than in maths.
Unfortunately a large portion of teachers are liberals, sadly they dealing with liberal rules that basically allow kids to do anything they want and not behave. The whole country is chaotic, it's being driven home not to respect people in positions of authority such as teachers and cops.
It depends on their level of education/experience. Before COVID at least minimum wage. This past semester I had a community college student who had her RIT (I hope I got that acronym correct) it’s like a person who works under someone who is an ABA therapist. I paid her $15.
Your videos are very informative. I am starting a NGO private school in Liberia for underprivileged elementary students...conducted by way of the us......in the process of completing the building structure.do you partner with folks like me
Hello! I'm just finding your videos now. I wish I had a few years back, but God reveals things in his time. I'm going to try OpenSIS, it looks like it has all the features with a guarantee of protection of student information. I'm looking to start my school next year!
As a person who is studying to be a teacher. I know what he means. I am a immigrant before I am a black American. We came from Eritrea, Africa. The way in which a lot of African Americans parents here in the states have a short temperament with their children’s intellectual disabilities. Parents of first generation American kids are the same. I’m practically a U.S history teacher (but going into Social Studies due to the multi cultural backgrounds I’ve grown up with in the Bay Area and Portland, Oregon). From segregation to the Regan administration. African Americans and proper educational upbringings have its effects on said culture when the children become the parents. As an adult I recognize African American parents with an education only up to high school or not even that when it comes to raising their children with school is mirror to how immigrant parents are with their children in America. Both parents are so involved if not more in their children’s education up until the sixth grade or seventh grade. The subjects and level of education required to monitor and check the kids homework is beyond a lot of immigrant parents and African parents. When it comes to writing esssays, citing things, grammar to an extent where things have to be properly administered to literature in the reading rewuiremts of novels and what not. Trading habits as a whole. The mathematical subjects changing past fractions, division, multiplication and decimals. To going into the pre algebra, algebra and even statistics. The same with the sciences. As my parents did and a lot of the African American parents of the kids I grew up with did. The divided began. The parents defense mechanism is to scold the child because they can not actually check the work and see what’s right or wrong, due to not knowing the material. I won’t go all Dr.Phil here. I just happened to go to school with a lot of black kids in middle school, while having cultural differences yet our parents handlers us the same before seventh grade and after. After the seventh grade and eighth. I happened to go to high school I’m Portland where the kids bud the parents were different. What I learned after high school and saw why my peers were a little better off there was. The educational background of my peers parents often went to college or at the very least took courses from middle school and high school that allowed them to go to college. I’m high school I learned a trick my city did was to let people fail classes in middle school. When they got to high school. Have them take those same kind of subjects, just call it 9th grade or tenth grade this. It allowed them to graduate high school, but it disabled them from being eligible to apply for the state’s universities. You had to have taken x level English or pre algebra and above. The same with science and government. I was lucky and my teachers caught on. They brought this to my parent’s attention in the ninth grade and I was taken out of those classes. Had it not been for the communication between those teachers reaching out to my parents. I might be in the same boat now. I suppose it worked. After all, I am studying to be a teacher myself 🤷🏾♂️ P.S Sorry for the grammatical and sometimes incoherent word choice earlier on. I typed this from my iPhone. Editing after I write is and clearly always will be my Achilles heel😢
Hello, I am a seasoned History teacher going back to school to get a SPED credential. I appreciate your story about hidden disabilities. How would I refer a child who has gotten through HS (barely) and then failed regretfully at the City College to complete any of his first courses?
Cindy are you still out there doing these videos? I wonder if I could pay you for an hour of your time. I have a lot of questions that are not answered in your videos.
I still make them…not as often as I want however. I have a whole playlist. Did you look at them in order? What about the blog…they will have link to the video in order too: theldcoach.com/how-to-start-a-school/ I will not say no to individual coaching, however, with summer break and planning for the new year it will be tough. Direct message me on FB at The LD Coach and if you still need as soon as my books open, I’ll reach out.

A nursery usually has a total differently set of guidelines. In my state, there is a whole separate governing body for newborns through four-year-olds. For school age children this will help you get started: theldcoach.com/how-to-start-a-school/
I have worked in the northeast making $114K in title 1 schools. They still have openings for every subject matter. Burnout, student discipline, entitled parents, awful administrators have no price tag. GL
