Learning without Limits - 3 Pivotal Moments of Education Sun, 22 Mar 2026 05:19:54 -0400 en-us © 2026 Learning without Limits - 3 Pivotal Moments of Education yes 77fd3fd0-b769-5974-bee1-d293d3c82d5a Alyssa Volpini episodic false In this episode of Learning Without Limits, I reflect on three pivotal moments from my own educational journey as a student with a hearing disability and ADHD. Using Ryan & Ryan’s (2010) 4Rs framework—Report, Relate, Reason, and Reconstruct—I share stories of being dismissed, underestimated, and finally empowered. From losing my hearing aids in Grade 1, to being told in high school that I wouldn’t succeed, to later finding my voice as an Educational Assistant, these experiences shaped my determination to build inclusive, empathetic classrooms.

Listeners will gain insight into how teacher responses can either limit or lift students, and why empathy, high expectations, and advocacy matter so deeply in education.

Join me as I explore how past challenges inform my future teaching—and how one moment of belief can change a student’s entire story.
