Chalk & Change
INSIGHT
Chalk & Change is a lifestyle and teaching blog for special education teachers who believe in leading with love, learning with intention, and teaching for lasting impact. This is more than a resource hub — it’s a place where classroom strategies meet real-life moments, and where educators (new and veteran alike) can find inspiration, tools, and community.
Expect classroom tips, behavior supports, organizational hacks, lesson ideas, wellness talk, and reflections on the ever-evolving teacher journey. Whether you're here for the chalk or the change — you belong here. 💚
Hi, I’m Samm — a special education teacher with a heart for inclusion, growth, and meaningful change in the classroom. 🌱 With years of experience teaching young learners with diverse needs, I’ve learned that the most powerful teaching comes from a blend of patience, creativity, and connection.
Whether it’s celebrating the small wins or navigating the tough days, I believe every moment in special education has the power to shape lives — including our own. Chalk & Change is an extension of my heart for teaching, and a space where I can share what I’ve learned, what I’m learning, and what lights me up in and out of the classroom.
