📣Takeaways:

1. For IEP goals, try designating “data days” (e.g. 2 days a week).
2. For consistently frequent behaviors, consider using “sample” interval data.

📣Takeaways:

1. Always find SOMETHING positive to point out and help them build on that.
2. Provide ONE small, manageable thing to try to implement before your next check in.
3. Provide ways for them to see objectively how the progress is going and make decisions on those data.
4. Provide THEM (teachers) positive reinforcement for their efforts!
5. What can YOU do to take the load off of THEM?
6. Bonus: Ask for their opinion on things, even if you know what the answer is or the best course of action. Make sure they feel they are being heard and listened to. Consider their insights and build upon common goals and expectations.

💎 Today’s GEM: Your #1 goal of a first observation or request for support in-class is to be ASKED BACK. Remember that you can do nothing for even the most needy class or teacher unless they want your help, so find something positive to focus on or give them one simple thing you know will make a difference, and build a level of support and trust from day one!
