For 21-22, I’m going to have a 2nd grade student eligible for services under DD ruling, but the student’s subcategories for IEP goals are currently only personal-social (sharing, taking turns, raising hand to speak) & adaptive (starting, staying focused on, & completing work) skills. I just finished my 1st full year as a sped teacher, so I’m trying to figure out how to develop a plan for working on these skills. Any suggestions?

Ritz vs Gwen hotel in Chicago

Where to stay in the Algarve? Traveling to Portugal with family in Late September and looking to rent a house somewhere on the south coast. Suggestions on which towns to look in? There will be 5 of us, all adults. Hoping to find something within 10min walk to a nice beach and a few restaurants also within walking. Doesn't need to be a big town though. Something more on the quaint side that still has some local charm might be nice. Does a place like this exist?

I'm having some trouble with my manager.

He's always asking me to work late, but when I do, he doesn't give me any credit for it.

I feel like he only cares about the results, not how much effort I put in. Should I say something to him?

I was wondering if anyone did the CIPP/US cert and had any recommendations for studying. I planned on just buying the book, reviewing the terms, making an outline/flash cards. Overkill? Not enough? Also, how many hours did you study?

Are the terms and practices of In-Class Resource and In-Class Support interchangeable? I thought there were differences in terms of certified staff and non-certified support.

Who got hit today by a student and where ? As special Ed teachers it goes with the territory. I had one of my ED students sneak up behind me and punch me in the back today. The joy of teaching!

Looking for ISC Teachers. I’m a PPS special education ISC teacher. I’m frustrated that I don’t have a professional learning community. If you are an ISC teacher, or know someone who is, please consider getting in touch. My hope is to start our own PLC where we can talk about challenges, strategies, and systems in our setting.

Any idea on good resources for puzzles (regular, crossword, wordsearch) for Autism. I have a kinder who is incredible at them but ones I find are too difficult and irrelevant.

I have been teaching students with special needs for 21 years now. The class size used to be 12:1. Now it’s 15:1, but you can have up to 18 students with the variance. Now my Principal said that you can have up to 19 students!!!! Is anyone else noticing that the self contained class is getting larger?

Does anyone know what criteria determines how restrictive of a setting students are placed in?? I’m a preschool sped teacher in a 12:1 room and some of my students are verbal with a 25% delay while others are fully nonverbal with more than a 50% delay in multiple areas. How were they all recommended for a 12:1 instead of a 10:1 or 8:1??

What do you do to relax after work?

And K-3 pull out teachers willing to share their schedule with me. Looking to redo mine in December and want to see how others do it!

Looking for any and all ideas! I will be teaching in a Middle School Autism classroom. This is very different from what I did last year and will be even more so with COVID. I am trying to plan for my students each having their own work area. How are people planning to keep student materials separated by their own areas? What type of bins, shelves, containers are you planning to use?

Also if you have any other ideas for this year let me know! Thank you 😊

Hi! I'm a GedEd Middle School ELA teacher in Texas. This year I'm teaching 3 sections of coteach ELA and it's been a nightmare. I don't know if the coteach model is just a nighmare or if it's just the way my school/district has rolled it out that is making it a nightmare. Does anyone have experience with coteach? Any help is appreciated.

Hello, I was wondering if anyone knows of or has curriculum for students in a Study Skills class?

I have been given three sections of Study Skills with 15-20 students in each.
I have always taught SDC, but this year my district said that we can do that now. When I got my credential I was not allowed to teach Resource classes unless I took classes and received the Resource Certificate. Does anyone know if this is legal?

I received my credentials in 1996/1997 and the other in 1998

Just wanted to share this with people who would understand. Had 4 IEP meetings last week. When the case manager asked one mother if she had any concerns she said her only concern was that her kindergarten son with autism loved me so much she was afraid of him being promoted and being out of my room. I told her not to worry, in our program I will have him for 2 more years. Boy that made me feel good.

As a SPED teacher, what kinds of side jobs do I qualify for? What kind of skills could I put on an application/resume for other types of jobs?

Any special education teachers in the San Diego area who would be willing to chat about their district? I’m an elementary sped teacher. I’ve primarily taught students with autism, intellectual disabilities, and students with emotional needs. I’m applying in the area for the next school year, and would love to hear other teachers thoughts. Thank you!

How are you making learning accessible for students with mild, moderate and severe/profound disabilities using technology? Ideas and solutions please.

I'm an intermediate resource teacher with several 6th graders who don't want to be pulled out of the gen ed class in fear of being stigmatized by their peers or because the activities that are provided to them in the form of choice boards and differientiated at their ability level, seem too babyish for them. How do I provide service minutes to students who prefer to stay in class? with their peers without special needs.

Educational book recommendations! I love to read, please list any educational books you loved, especially related to special education!

Hi. I am a Transition teacher in California. I would like to know what is the ratio of students to staff for community outings in your districts? I have been teaching in my district for 20+ years and it has always been 4:1 ratio for our moderate/severe transition classes. Now our director is saying it's 6:1 and I don't feel like this is safe for our students.

What are your go-to apps, websites, blogs, social media handles, and podcasts to get the best inspiration and strategies to work with special needs populations?
