Do you use music to create a more "peaceful" in your classroom? I had a teacher in school who always loved playing Enya. After a couple songs the room would always tone down quite a bit. Considering doing the same 😂

I do that. Sometimes I thinks it’s for my own sanity. Sometimes it works other times as kids are melting I listen as the room spins lol. I do put up screen savors on the bored from YouTube ( kaleidoscope, underwater ocean, autism lights etc) and they seem to work with music too.

Oh I love the idea of the screen savers!

Oh yes I use music often. It can calm students why they work and change a negative atmosphere into a positive one. Just always ask everyone if it is ok with them if you play music to ensure that it is not distracting for anyone.

True, there are always some it can be distracting to. Thanks!

Additional Posts in Special Education Teachers

I work in a self contained classroom. A parent of one of my kids wants to come and volunteer after learning all my staff quit. Can I allow her to do this? Admin has no idea and I'm not sure with FERPA laws.. advice, suggestions? What can I have her do if she can come?

Anyone else the last to be informed about ANYTHING at their site? I am only a second year SPED teacher and my eyes are already wide open to the fact that admin and Gen Ed teachers so often fail to inform me about important things regarding the grade levels I teach and other school events. Then I’m left scrambling to inform my students and parents of essential information, and I’m embarrassed! My aides also look at me like why don’t you know this? Aggravating.

I feel like I'm at my wits end. I teach self-contained classes and according to the ISBE website my classes shouldn't be more than 8 students unless I have an aide - then it can be 10. I have no aide and most of my classes are around 14 kids. Some with behavior plans that are only out of our behavior room setting for my class... Is anybody else out there going through illegal class sizes for self-contained? How are you dealing? Maybe a vent session is in order.

I love my job in special education, the job may bring quite a bit of stress and exhaustion but nothing compares to the stress of the related service team. OT, PT, speech, BCBA, social worker, etc etc is really what’s killing me this year. It is 23 days into the school year and the team members all make different plans and as a result, nothing is being accomplished. And if paraprofessionals follow ie what OT says but not PT, it cause so much unnecessary conflict!
