AU Rockstars New Teacher Course
Stop surviving and start thriving!
A self-paced video course for first-, second-, and third-year special education teachers. Built by a former special education teacher and BCBA, AU Rockstars gives you the systems, strategies, and confidence to run your classroom, so the chaos doesn't run you.
Built for Monday morning.
No fluff. No theory you'll never use. Every module ends with "Let's Implement" activities you can put in place the very next school day, plus ready-to-use templates and checklists.

What you'll learn
01
Lead with Intent: Systems That Put You in Control
Step into your role as the CEO of your classroom, with non-negotiables, staff roles, sub plans, and crisis plans that run without you.
02
Classroom Setup
Build a room that teaches the routine for you: schedules, transitions, independent work systems, and a calm space.
03
Explaining the IEP
Read any IEP in 15 minutes, put it into action, and explain it to parents and paras in plain language.
04
Data Collection Done Right
Take great data without becoming a full-time statistician, and use it to make real decisions.
05
Instruction: Teaching Multiple Levels at Once
Same goal, different path. Reach every learner in the room without writing eight lesson plans.
06
Behavior Strategies & Interventions
Behavior is communication. Prevent it, respond with calm, and know the difference between a meltdown and a tantrum.
07
Using What You've Got: Tapping into School Resources
Find the people, tools, and funding already in your building, and learn how to ask for help the right way.
08
Building Your Village
Build real partnerships with paras, gen ed teachers, families, and admin, and protect yourself from burnout.
