Mostly, they need to practice the skills. Practicing with different materials and in different situations is critical for maintenance. This is also important for generalization. If our skills don’t maintain or generalize, they won’t be useful. Structured work systems help to program that maintenance into the daily routine.
I remember the second year I was teaching at my current placement when I had a frustrated parent come in. It was back to school time. The parent was upset that no one had been in contact with her about her child. I had been to his previous school for a short time at the end of the last school year. That was the only thing I had done to prepare for this student’s transition. After working with the family that day we ended up having a great relationship supporting their child. However, this experience made me reevaluate how I was preparing myself, students and families for transitions.
If you’re setting up your self-contained special education classroom here are the 10 major areas you need to include! I’ve been a special educator for 8 years now and these work areas are fool proof! Each location has it own need and I’ll explain why!
I am excited to introduce this week’s guest blogger, Rachel from Engaging Early Learners to talking about how to organize your classroom. One thing you should know about her is that she LOVES organizing. She always love finding the best ways to organize any and all of the different things we have in our classroom!
Meeting the individual needs of every student in your classroom can be a daunting task for teachers. Each student needs differentiated instruction to access the curriculum. So what is differentiated instruction?
The purpose of differentiation is to better the performance of all students. This includes those who are falling behind and those ahead. Differentiation benefits students across the learning continuum. This includes students who are gifted.
