Those Who Can’t Teach
Shelley Kenow pt 2
We’ve seen news reports about how the COVID lockdowns has detrimentally affected the aptitude scores of school age children. We’ve seen reports of how many students are still struggling in school. Those two years of the shutdown has set many students back years in their ability to use applied knowledge to their studies.
But there is also another group of students that suffered greatly. Their stories are not being promoted or discussed very much in the public sector. But that is nothing new. For many special needs students, their stories have not been that “front and center” that often.
The teachers tasked with helping these special needs children also struggle in trying to help them achieve success. The COVID lockdowns also affected them. There is just something “missing” with virtual learning that cost our children dearly during COVID, especially in the Special Needs community.
My guest today has been working with special needs children for over 25 years. Shelley Kenow is a certified special education teacher and author of a captivating book, “Those Who Can’t… Teach: True Stories of Special Needs Families to Promote Acceptance, Inclusion and Empathy.”
Get ready to be inspired and gain new perspectives as we dive into part two of Shelley’s incredible journey and the transformative power of her work! Amen!
How has this method improved their ability to integrate into society as a whole?
Why did you write this book, “Those Who Can’t…Teach,” and why did you feel it was needed now?
You worked with or know every family that is in your book, correct?
How did they initially respond when you approached them about telling their story in your book?
I read that many special needs teachers wish you would’ve written it sooner! How has the publication of your book, “Those Who Can’t…Teach,” impacted teachers?
Has this also resulted in improvements in the children’s educational process that you know of?
During your tenure and during the writing of this book, how has this affected your Faith in God and your faith in man?
I know it is a sensitive area in education, but have you been able to share your Faith with students or parents along the way?
You also host your own podcast on Facebook and YouTube called “#NoLimits.” Can you share about your program with us?
Shelley, this is so interesting. How can someone order a copy of your book? Is it on Amazon?
If someone wanted to reach out to you for more information, ask a question or possibly do an interview such as this, how can they do that? How can someone get in touch with you?
I’ll put links to all of this down in the show notes below.
Folks, you may or may not have a Special Needs child. Whether you do or not does not matter, because I know that you know someone who does. Amen!
You need to drop down into the show notes and reach out to Shelly, right now. You need to be sure to order your own copy of her book, “Those Who Can’t Teach” right now. In fact, order two or three copies and share them with those you know. Order a copy and take it to your school and give sow it into a special needs teacher. They will be eternally grateful to you! Amen!
