Thank you to the email subscriber who asked for support with centers at the High School level. 

While the use of centers can be applicable and beneficial at any grade level, implementing centers in a high school setting  is out of my area of expertise. So I asked Fiona Gonzalez back to the show to discuss this topic.

Fiona is a mod/severe high school transition teacher in Southern California and is also a vocation program specialist. She is in charge of vocational curriculum for the high school and transition students, and organizes and runs the on and off campus work experience programs.  Before teaching, she was a paraeducator and an in-home ABA therapist.   During her first year of teaching, she discovered that it was hard to find age-appropriate resources that were at the level her students needed, so she became curriculum creator and runs the TPT store and social media accounts at Sped Adulting.

In this episode, Fiona and I discuss centers at the high school level.

• Key benefits of using centers in a high school special education classroom
•  How they support student learning and engagement
• Examples of how centers can be effectively implemented in a high school setting 
• How to ensure that centers align with the IEPs
• How to manage logistics and ensure that all students have access to centers and meaningful learning opportunities
• Potential challenges or obstacles that special educators might face when implementing centers in a high school environment, and how to overcome them
• Advice to special educators who are considering incorporating centers into their high school classrooms but may be unsure of where to start

Fiona has a free Life Skills Scope & Sequence  that includes links to many different activities that can be used for lessons, IEP goals, centers and more.
