As the bells ring and students shuffle in, take a nice deep breath. We know the organized chaos is about to ensue – but we’re ready! We shape lives each day.
No matter what level you teach – elementary, secondary, transition – your work matters. But teaching can be incredibly demanding and stressful too. We’ve all felt that weight!

Guarding our mental health is critical with the demands we teachers face. We also need the right resources to make each school day feel more manageable, right?
I recently spoke to a high school special education teacher, Kelly, who shared an incredible resource that’s been a total game-changer for her students. If you aren’t aware of it yet…It’s Functional Academics by SDES.
Kelly said Functional Academics is the real deal and perfect for what she needs to meet her students needs with fidelity – this program is created by special ed teachers who know this population of students inside and out. It provides a clear roadmap based on decades in real classrooms with students who have moderate to severe disabilities.
For the first time, there is a comprehensive scope and sequence tailored specifically for this population. SDES breaks key skills into concrete, measurable chunks across reading, writing, math, science, social skills – you name it.
