Taking Back Education

Imagine feeling overwhelmed and burnt out to the point where you're questioning your purpose in education. I know how that feels because I’ve been there, and it’s what led me to create a platform for educators to openly share their challenges and successes. In this episode of the Taught Podcast with Melissa, I take you through my own transformative journey—from being a special education advocate to becoming an entrepreneur focused on creating a broader, more impactful change in education through MTSS (Multi-Tiered System of Supports).

We dive into the potential of MTSS to create real, meaningful change in schools. It's about breaking down complex systems into manageable, actionable steps while encouraging reflective practices—not bogging down educators with overwhelming data. We also explore the cultural shift we need to make in education, so continuous improvement and rebranding MTSS become more accessible and accepted by educators.

This episode is a reminder of the importance of prioritizing mental health and aligning your professional work with your personal values, creating a career in education that’s sustainable, fulfilling, and driven by purpose.
