Are you feeling overwhelmed, stressed, and burnt out as a self-contained special education teacher? You’re not alone! Teaching can be a rewarding but demanding job, and it’s easy to get overwhelmed by the demands of the classroom. That’s where a mentor can come in!
If you’re a special education teacher, you know how important data collecting is for tracking your students’ progress and making informed decisions about their needs. But if you’re new to the field, or just looking to improve your data collection practices, you may have some questions. Here are some of the most frequently asked questions about data collection in a special education classroom, along with some helpful answers.
Independent living skills or activities of daily living (ADLs) are those things we normally do in daily living including any daily activity we perform for self-care such as feeding ourselves, bathing, dressing, grooming, work, homemaking, domestic and leisure. The ability or inability to perform ADLs can be used as a very practical measure of ability/disability in many disorders.
Fine Motor work tasks and activities can be an awesome addition to your special education classroom! This is a skill perfect for all ages and ability levels. There is no pre-requisite to using fine motor tasks in your classroom. Make sure to consult with your occupational therapist for any help and support in this area.
Sorting work tasks and activities can be an awesome addition to your special education classroom! This is a categorization and differentiation skill perfect for all ages and ability levels. Once my student has mastered matching tasks and work, they move to sorting tasks!
Ahhh, quiet time. Don’t get it confused, I am not necessarily recommending a nap time in your classroom (although that sounds glorious).
