Managing a team is one of the most difficult duties of a special education teacher. I remember thinking, no one taught me how to manage adults! Supporting adults is a HUGE part of our job as special educators. It’s important to build a strong team to have a successful year. Implementing a paraprofessional binder in your classroom can be super helpful!
My math tutor told me I was stupid. I’m not kidding. It was 8th grade and was still struggling with multiplication and division and he told me I was stupid. So how did I go from “stupid” to a passionate high school math teacher? I built my own math confidence over the years and I’m excited to share the tips with you here.
I have created a mentorship new program to support other self-contained special education teachers in the field. For years I did special education alone and felt like I was on an island!
While I hope you never experience an emergency absence, I hope this list helps you prepare for the worst. Most importantly, you need to remind yourself that the classroom will continue to run without you. As much as you would want to be there, your students will be safe and okay without you.
Adapting curriculum is an ongoing dynamic process that modifies and adapts the program of studies to meet the learning requirements of a student with special needs. It enables the teaching team to welcome learners of all abilities and ensures that every student is challenged to learn.
I want to give you some suggestions on how to talk to that special education parent and then hopefully connect better with all your other parents as well that you work with. That Parent can sometimes very overbearing. Never satisfied. They’re going over your head. Talking to the administration. We all know that parent.
