    <description>LifeSkills Radio is all about the wonderful world of Life Skills and education.

We're going to talk about strategies for self-care because you're amazing and we don't want you to burn out.

We're going to share stories about surviving those first few days, weeks, and months of teaching, which will hopefully make you laugh and think and not take yourself too seriously. We're going to touch on ways to build meaningful relationships with your staff, parents, and students because those relationships are the foundation of your teaching. We're going to talk about behavior, evidence-based practices, transition planning, and so much more.

Along the way we'll have some really great guests for you and they'll share their experiences and their journey through this amazing world we all call life skills.</description>
