Good afternoon,
after taking some time off this summer, it is time for us to get up and running once again. For all of you teachers and school staff out there, this one is for you! I hope you enjoy!

Hi there- Jon from Navigating Solutions here. I took a bit of a break to spend time with my family over the summer. Thank you for giving that grade. It has been a nice time but alas, I am ready to begin writing blogs once again. I hope you enjoy this latest from N.S. As a member of the Education "cl...

Here is our latest blog post- We hope you enjoy it. Congratulations on getting through another school year!

As promised, I wanted to make sure I followed up with a new blog. Without getting into the specifics, both Jamie and I have had some collective family items we have each needed to take care of. Between hospitals, Alzheimer's mild heart attacks etc from family members, these events have forced us to....

Hello Viewers-

I wanted to apologize that Navigating Solutions has been so quiet lately. We have had some unfortunate family items that include medical rehabilitations, Alzheimer's and mild heart attacks from family members.

We are still here but had to put a few things on the back burner for a bit. I will be working on a new blog post soon and hope to get it to you within the next couple of weeks.

Until then- have a great week from Jon Wright
Keep on Navigating!

Hello from Navigating Solutions. We hope you like this blog post about bullies.
We would LOVE to hear any feedback you may have for any of the blogs we put up on the board.
Have a great weekend from Jamie and Jon N.S.

Author: Jamie Bessette Were you ever bullied as a kid? Pretty much everyone I talk to can tell me a story of at least one person that made their life miserable and how they dealt with it and coped. What if you had multiple kids that bullied you? Then what? As an educator I think the word bully and b...

Happy Friday from Jon/Navigating Solutions. I wanted to share another past blog post with you. Hope you enjoy it and have a great weekend!

As a teacher, I admittedly had some improvements which needed to be made during the course of my career. When I entered the world of public education, what I had in energy and vitality, I lacked some when it came to keeping students from occasionally escalating. As I gained experience, I learned man...

Have you dealt with teams wanting one on one para-educators for students? Here is a blog post that maps out thoughts and ideas behind this idea.

Within our blogs, we have written about the changes in education and society in general that have evolved over these past several years. Some of these changes are good, while others create challenges within systems. One of these items of change is how people in public education keep up with the ever...

Hello, here is another of our BLOG posts. We hope you enjoy it.

Over the years I have worked with teachers I have repeated this analogy more times than I can count. Today I have decided to share it with you. Think of each child’s ability to handle difficulties like a milk jug. Let’s pretend that each child’s milk jug is the same size. At the bottom of the ...

Here is a past blog post that highlights 504 plans and IEP differences. We at Navigating Solutions hope you like it.

Jon Wright During my time working in Special Education, there has seemed to be a mysterious battle or confusion between two programs. Both of them are set up to help assist students in order to level the playing field. They are in some instances similar yet vastly different at the same time. The two...
