  1. Number 1: 227. 5 Tips for a successful Start Teaching Special Needs Students [Getting Ready for BTS]

    What can you do in the first few weeks of school to help create a more smoothly operating classroom for teaching special needs students? I often talk about the importance of implementing strategies and systems to ensure your classroom runs efficiently and implementing some very basic strategies in the first weeks of school can help set you, your staff, and your students up for success. The first few weeks of school are crucial for getting students used to your classroom and how things work. In this episode, I share why you should focus on building relationships with students and staff, the importance of using visuals, how to prioritize tasks for each day, and why you should reflect at the end of the school day. 03:41 - How to build relationships with your students in the first few weeks of school 08:50 - Ways you can build relationships with your staff even with limited time alone with them 10:36 - Why you should be using more visuals than you actually need 12:08 - The importance of making a prioritized list of tasks for each day 16:12 - Why reflecting on what is working and what is not working is crucial in the first few weeks Show Notes: http://autismclassroomresources.com/episode175 Resources:Paraprofessional Schedules and Team Building KitFree Classroom Reflection FormJoin the Autism Classroom Resources' Free Resource Library Get more information about the Special Educator AcademyJoin the Free Facebook Group If you're enjoying this podcast, could you please take a quick moment to leave your review on Apple Podcasts?

    Teachers struggle a LOT with building and leading their classroom teams.

So today, I start with a discussion of the nuts and bolts of building the structure with a classroom staff so they can work as a team. 01:48​ - Why leadership isn’t some big, scary thing 03:55 - An overview of the first part of the structure you’ll need: the classroom zoning plan 06:20 - What a zoning plan doesn’t include and the key to making it work 08:00 - The purpose of the lesson plan and setting up the vision for your classroom 10:50 - What to keep in mind as you build the classroom structure with your staff Show Notes: http://autismclassroomresources.com/episode131 Resources:Join the Autism Classroom Resources' Free Resource Library Get more information about the Special Educator AcademyJoin the Free Facebook Group If you're enjoying this podcast, could you please take a quick moment to leave your review on Apple Podcasts?

  3. Number 3: 216. Writing IEP Goals: 5 Things You Need to Ask

    There are many things that we need to think about when writing IEP goals. We need to look at the present level of performance, curriculum goals, and parent input. However, there are other things we should consider when we write IEP goals, regardless of when we write them during the school year. When considering what a student’s goals should be, there are questions we should be asking. There, of course, are the standard questions - Is your goal measurable? Is it clear? And is it related to the present level of performance? But there are 5 additional questions I think are key to writing better goals for your students. In this episode, I am diving into what these 5 questions are and how asking them before writing a goal will make your life easier throughout the year. 03:10 - Why it’s important to ask if a goal has been written before 05:42 - What an enabling goal is 07:05 - The importance of looking at what skills a student will need in their next environment 08:45 - Why you should be considering how you will teach the skill 12:45 - How to write goals that allow you to accurately track and measure them Show Notes: http://autismclassroomresources.com/episode216 Resources:Writing Enabling Goals for IEPsHow to Conquer 5 Challenges of Meaningful IEPsJoin the Autism Classroom Resources' Free Resource Library Get more information about the Special Educator AcademyJoin the Free Facebook Group If you're enjoying this podcast, could you please take a quick moment to leave your review on Apple Podcasts?

  4. Number 4: How Using Zoning Plans Reduce Your Stress in the Special Ed Classroom

    We’re building the center of the classroom to support instruction so that the day-to-day running of the classroom works on its own. But in order to do that, we need systems. Systems get set up so that the people in the classroom know what needs to be done and can do it on their own without the teacher’s attention being pulled away to direct something. A system like a zoning plan takes some time upfront, and yours will need to be tweaked since you won’t get it perfect at the beginning. But a zoning plan can help save you time and energy and make your life a whole lot easier. 4:55 - Needing to direct staff as a special ed teacher 6:31 - 3 reasons why a zoning plan saves your sanity Join us inside the Special Educators Academy for your 7 day free trial.
