In this episode, I’m talking teacher consultation with Michelle Valdivieso, and she brings the kind of calm, seasoned clarity that makes you instantly rethink how you walk into a classroom.
We get into what consultation is really for, how it’s changed with rising behavior needs, and why being “the testing person” is the fastest way to stay invisible.
We also talk about the tricky stuff, like consulting when you don’t have a teaching background, getting real buy in (especially pre referral), and how to support teachers without accidentally insulting them.
If you’ve ever left a meeting thinking, well that went… badly, this one’s for you.
