Episode 24 of the Toddcast the Teacher Podcast: Kristen Woodcock

For the twenty-fourth episode of the Toddcast the Teacher Podcast, I had the wonderful opportunity of interviewing Kristen Woodcock who I also actually went to school with and we coached volleyball together.

Kristen works in a Special Education setting, which she has been doing since 2016 and currently completing her Master’s in Teaching in Special Education.

Kristen has also created her own business called The Empowerment Initiative, which is based on empowering teenage girls and young women with disabilities by creating individually tailored community access programs.

Kristen discusses the following:

- Her teaching journey, why she became a teacher and her teacher role model.

- Where did the passion for Special Education come from.

- Key teaching tips and strategies when teaching special education.

- Catering for students with individual differences.

- Special education curriculum in South Australia and does it prepare students for eighteen plus.
