My independent work stations are favorite activities for my students. It’s amazing to watch them grow more and more independent and begin to work on these tasks all by themselves. Also, my students find so much satisfaction and pride in being able to do tasks on their own tool!
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!
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.
I am excited to introduce this week’s guest blogger, Jennifer from Sped Prep Academy. She is a special education teacher and coach. Jennifer is here to chat all about how to train paraprofessionals using an assistant handbook!
