Educational Aims is a weekly podcast delivering researched and proven strategies to support students' learning. All evidence-based interventions have been shown effective. Having used them in my own teaching, I share them with you.

Quick, focused podcasts are written to give teachers tips, ideas, accommodations and interventions they can immediately use in their class. 

Delivered to tier II and tier III interventions, these techniques support ALL learners in equitable access to learning!

Produced and hosted by Shawn Bush, an elementary classroom teacher for students presenting autism and other exceptionalities. Shawn holds a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Fort Hays State University. He is currently finishing his last semester for a Master's in Special Education from Fort Hays State University.
