    The first time I took the BCBA exam, I didn't study ethics very much. I thought I was an ethical person and would instinctively know what the correct answer was. Countless people advised against that strategy but I tuned them out and promptly failed the exam. The second time around I took ethics a lot more seriously because ethics are complex! This podcast is the same exact scenario that I used to study ethics the second time.

    Why I left teaching is complicated and hard for me to summarize-so I decided to record a podcast about it! In a nutshell, teaching was not the right forever career for me and it took me a while to figure that out. This podcast will address many of the assumptions I get. If you would prefer to read the written outline, it is in the blog post below! http://adaptationstation.net/i-did-not-burn-out-why-i-left-teaching/

    Why I took a 3 Year Break from pursuing BCBA

    As of February 2021 I am 80% of the way through my BCBA supervision. A lot of people assume that I’m currently in school and I get why it’s confusing that I actually started my certificate 2015 but I’m not finishing up until six years later. There were three main reasons why I took an extensive break towards working towards BCBA. The first one being I really struggled in my classes and I didn’t think I was smart enough to pass the test. The second one being I really struggled to get supervision and I couldn’t balance it all. And the third one being I met some not nice BCBAs and I really didn’t want to associate with them. The podcast will tackle all three of those things, and explain how I got back on the path towards BCBA!
