If you’re a general education teacher, you carry a lot—lesson plans, classroom management, and the needs of every learner who walks through your door.

Today we’re talking about something that often gets overlooked but makes all the difference in how your classroom runs. Team building. It’s not something that always shows up in your IEP goals or service minutes, but you feel it when it’s missing. When the team isn’t clicking, when paras don’t feel supported, when everyone’s running in their own lane, it shows.The truth is, your team needs to click. You need your paras, and they need you. When the adults in the classroom work well together, everyone benefits, including the students.Team building isn’t a one time thing you check off a list. It’s ongoing. It’s maintenance. Stronger teams mean better support for your students, and that kind of collaboration doesn’t just happen, it’s built intentionally.In this episode, Stephanie shares six simple team building ideas that are easy to implement but have a powerful impact. From icebreakers that actually serve a purpose, to appreciation notes, to role playing crisis scenarios and creating space for social connection, these ideas help shift your classroom culture in real, lasting ways.Because when you build up the adults in the classroom, you build up the students too, and that’s what really matters.And don’t forget — you can get 50% off your first month of membership https://products.theintentionaliep.com/tii-membership-50off1stmonth-podcast/For more information, check out more of Stephanie's resources:https://www.theintentionaliep.com/the-intentional-iep-book/https://www.theintentionaliep.com/https://www.facebook.com/theintentionaliephttps://www.instagram.com/theintentionaliep
