Podcast appearances and mentions of brett bigham

Here is Part Two of our interview with Brett Bigham, Oregon's 2014 Teacher of the Year, and Oregon's first openly gay Teacher of the Year. If you haven't listened to Part 1 (Episode 26), you should do so-you don't want to miss any of this interview. Brett is a fantastic Special Education educator, who was treated incredibly unfairly by his former district. Listen to the conclusion of his story, which will make you feel angry, shocked-and most importantly, hopeful. Which all of us could use right around now. Thanks to Max Siskind, for voicing our intro!

We were honored to have Brett Bigham, 2014 Oregon Teacher of the Year, as our guest. Not only has he done amazing things for special education students that led to his well deserved award, but he's also had to deal with his former district's complete impingement upon his rights, because he is openly gay. This is Part 1 of this two part interview.  Welcome, and thank you, to Max Siskind, for doing our new intro!

Brett Bigham became the first special education teacher to be named Oregon Teacher of the Year in 2014. He later lost his job after speaking publicly about being a gay man and filing a complaint about the discrimination he experienced. We hear Bigham's reflections on the recent apology he got from the school district that fired him and the U.S. Supreme Court decision that protects LGBTQ people in the workplace.

This week on I Wish I Knew EDU I’m talking to Brett Bigham @2014ORTOY about #GlobalSPED, making small adjustments to allow for greater inclusion, Ability Guidebooks, being a champion for Equity, #SpeED and how sometimes our lives are not what we planned.

Autistic children can struggle with unfamiliar places. However, one teacher of the year has found a way to help improve traveling experiences for autistic children and their families. Brett Bigham has created a way to use books to help special needs and young children prepare to go to new places. Learn about this technique and how to help children travel who may have fears. You can even make books for kids (or some older students might be able to as well.) What a life-changing concept! Ability books for those with special needs. www.coolcatteacher.com/e208
